# Review a Product Update Request

> Approve or reject the changes a seller made to a published product.

> Decide whether a seller's edits to a live product take effect on the storefront.

## Overview

When a seller edits a product that is already published, the change does not go live immediately. On the product detail page, a "Product update request" panel shows the requested changes so you can compare them against the current product, then confirm or reject them.

## Step 1: Open the product

1. Go to "Products" in the sidebar.
2. Open the product that has a pending update.
3. Review the requested changes in the "Product update request" panel.

## Step 2: Approve or reject

### Confirm the changes

1. Click "Confirm".
2. Optionally add a "Note for store", then confirm.

The product is updated on the storefront.

### Reject the changes

1. Click "Reject".
2. Optionally add a "Note for store" explaining why.
3. Click "Reject" to confirm.

The product keeps its current details.

<Note>
  The seller is notified of your decision. Use the note to explain what you changed or why a request was declined.
