Can I change a file after I have sent it?
- While it is a draft, add and remove what you like. Nothing has gone anywhere yet.
- After a question is issued or a submittal is marked as sent, the builder holds the copy. YourCA refuses to change its files, and says so. It does not fail without a message.
- Raise a revision instead. It carries the original files forward, and you correct them on the revision.
- Both records stand: what was actually sent, and what replaced it.
- When a revision carries a file forward, the file does not upload again. The same stored copy is behind both records.
Worth knowing
A revision is the honest correction. If you delete and raise again, you lose the date the first one went. That date is half of any turnaround argument.
