1. [Navigate the RFP Tab](https://help.bionic-ads.com/knowledge/review-rfps#Understanding-proposals-tab)
2. [Edit an RFP](https://help.bionic-ads.com/knowledge/review-rfps#edit)
3. [Update RFP Status](https://help.bionic-ads.com/knowledge/review-rfps#update)

### **Navigate the RFP Tab**

All RFPs created for a specific campaign will be shown under the RFP Tab. The RFP Tab provides general insights helpful for tracking the progress of the RFP. Here, you can see when (or if) you sent the RFP. You can also track when the RFP was last viewed (or if it was viewed at all) by your recipients. You are also able to track the number of proposals you have received for each RFP.

Here's how to access the RFPs Tab:

1. Click on the **Campaign** you'd like to access the RFPs for.
2. Click on the **RFPs Tab**.

Here's how:

1. Click on the **Name of the RFP** you'd like to Edit.
2. In the Overview Tab of the RFP, click on **Edit**.
3. Edit any **editable fields** in the RFP as needed.

![edit-rfp](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Manage%20Your%20RFPs/edit-rfp.png?width=688&height=205&name=edit-rfp.png)

![edit-rfp-1](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Manage%20Your%20RFPs/edit-rfp-1.png?width=688&height=421&name=edit-rfp-1.png)

![edit-rfp-2](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Manage%20Your%20RFPs/edit-rfp-2.png?width=688&height=546&name=edit-rfp-2.png)

Here is a brief description of the Editable Fields in an RFP:

1. **Name -** This will carry in from the name you entered when first creating the RFP. You can change this name as needed.
2. **Status -** This shows the progress of the RFP by default an RFP is open. When an RFP is Closed, Vendors cannot submit proposals to that RFP.

### Update RFP Status

You can set Proposal Due Dates for your RFPs. However, the RFP does not automatically close once the Due Date is reached. You have the ability to Close and Open an RFP. Closing an RFP will mean that the recipients sent your RFP will no longer have the ability to send a Proposal.

Here's how to Close an RFP:

1. Go to the **Settings Tab** of an RFP.
2. Click on the **Status** dropdown and select **Close**.

NOTE: You have the ability to Close and Open an RFP as needed.
