Learn what happens to paid and unpaid payouts when you revert an approval. If you approved a content reward submission by mistake, or something about the post changes your mind, you can undo it. You do this by changing the submission's status — and Referly asks what should happen to any reward it already created. ## Reverting a submission Open the submission from the **Submissions** tab. Once a submission has been [reviewed](/docs/help-center/gamify/content-rewards/submissions) — approved or rejected — the review panel gives you a **Change status** control instead of the approve and reject buttons. To undo an approval, change the status to **Pending review** (to look at it again later) or **Rejected** (to turn it down). You can also do this from the table: select one or more submissions and use the set-status control in the selection bar. ## Choosing what happens to the payout Because the approval created a reward, moving an approved submission away from **Approved** opens a **What should happen to the payouts?** window. It gives you two choices: * **Keep the payouts** — the reward stays in the affiliate's earnings and can still be paid out, even though the submission is no longer approved. * **Delete the unpaid payouts** — the reward is removed, so it won't be paid. A reward that has **already been paid out** (or marked as paid) is always kept — reverting the submission can't claw back money that's already gone out. The choice above only affects rewards that were created but haven't been paid yet. ## After reverting * A submission moved to **Pending review** is back in your queue, and you can approve or reject it again. Re-approving creates its reward afresh. * A submission moved to **Rejected** is turned down; the affiliate is notified, as with any rejection. If you'd rather remove an entry entirely — the submission and any reward it created — use the **Delete** action instead. That permanently removes it, so reach for a status change when you only want to undo the approval. ## Related Approve or reject submissions in the first place.
