# How to edit or re-dispatch a form submission after its initial completion

If a form has already been submitted, but you need the user to make corrections or complete unfinished parts of the form, you can **re-dispatch** the form to the user or even **edit** it directly in the FastField Portal.

## Re-dispatch a submitted form

1. Log in to the FastField **Portal**.
2. Go to the **Data & Analytics** tab on the left navigation panel and select **Submissions**.
3. Select the **Actions** button to the left of the submission you would like to re-dispatch for editing. Then select **Dispatch**.

4. Enter a **title** and **description** of the dispatch.
5. **Assign the user(s)** you would like to re-dispatch your form to from the dropdown menu or enter their **email address(es)**.
  - If you are typing, the field will auto-populate a list of possible users.
  - You can also enter more than one external user's email address separated by commas.

> You may be billed for each submission. *Learn more about* [*external dispatch pricing*](/fastfield/docs/add-on-features)*.*
6. You now have the option to assign a **project name**, **due date**, **status**, and **priority level** for the dispatch.

7. Assign a **location** (optional).
8. If you would like the user to receive an email notification for the dispatch, select **Email** under Type and fill out the **title** and **message details/body** (or keep the default text).
  - If you do not want to send a notification, select **None** under Type.
9. You now have the option of **pre-filling out** any parts of the form before dispatching.
10. Select **Send Now** if you're ready to send out this dispatch.

## Edit a form from the portal

1. From the Submissions page, select the **Actions** button next to the submission you would like to edit.
2. Select **Edit Submission** to open the form editor.
3. From here, you can make any necessary changes.
