# Revise Proposals

## Here's how to revise a Proposal in Bionic for Ad Sales.

It is not uncommon that the initial proposal you send the media planner will need to be revised, whether there was a typo, additional information needs to be added, or the proposal was rejected.

A common point of confusion is that once a proposal has been submitted, it can no longer be edited directly. If the proposal status is **Pending** or **Rejected**, you must create a revised version by cloning the proposal.

Fortunately, making updates is easy.

### Revise a Draft Proposal

If your proposal is still in **Draft** status, you can edit any details directly in the proposal.

If your proposal is already in **Pending** or **Rejected** status, it cannot be edited. Instead, you must clone the proposal and send a revised version to the agency.

### Check Proposal Status

If you are unable to update your proposal, check the proposal status.

• **Draft** proposals can be edited.  
• **Pending** or **Rejected** proposals must be cloned and revised.

If a planner asks you to update or upload a new Proposal XML after rejection, you will need to clone the proposal and upload the XML to the revised proposal.

### Clone a Proposal

The fastest option to making changes to an existing proposal that is pending or rejected is to clone it. To clone a proposal:

1. [Log into Bionic for Ad Sales](https://help.bionic-ads.com/knowledge/log-in-to-bionic-for-ad-sales?hsLang=en)
2. [Go to the Proposal you wish to clone](https://help.bionic-ads.com/knowledge/monitor-your-proposals?hsLang=en)
3. Click the **Clone** button
4. Give the new proposal a name
5. Click the **Clone** button in the pop-up
6. You can now make any changes to match the planner's requests

### Submitting Changes

Once you have made the changes to the cloned proposal, you will need to submit it:

1. Click on the **Overview** tab
2. Put in any reasoning behind your edits
3. Click **Submit Proposal**
4. The "Status" will now say "Pending"
