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.
