View And Edit Notes And Change History

The following page will show you how to view and edit the Notes and Change History section of your application.

The Notes & Change History provides a record of the actions and comments that have been made in the application. This could include when the application was returned to the applicant for amendment, or a comment from the applicant as a response to a question about the product’s details. This will be the primary method of communication between an Applicant and the TAO. If the TAO identifies any issues or requires any changes, they will document them here.
