Best Practice
It is recommended to always 'Deny' change requests instead of deleting them. Denying a change request will still maintain an audit trail for that change request, but deleting a change request will remove it from the system entirely.

Pending Changes


When a change Request is pending approval, the edited field(s) will display their original values, be locked from further edits, and be indicated with a 'Change requested' tag.
