Step 7: Sign off on the edits

Before signing off on the edits, you should rerun the error report and regenerate the backsheets. If there are no critical errors left and the non-critical errors have been reviewed and are ok, then you can sign off on the edits.

1. Go back to the 'Main Menu' and click on the 'Input File Status' button to open up the 'Input File Status' window

2. Click on the file you wish to sign off on, then click on either the 'Signoff Edit' or 'Signoff All Edits' button. 'Signoff All Edits' signs off on the entire file. 'Signoff Edit' only signs off on whatever edit you have selected.

Once the sign off is complete, you are finished with the clean up process.
