# Update an existing conflict of interest disclosure request

Update an existing conflict of interest disclosure request to obtain the legal clearance again before it expires. You might want to get fresh approvals for an extension of the period or for the revised conditions that might pose a risk of potential conflict with the primary employer duties.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_lg\_ops.legal\_user

## Procedure

    **Note:** If you’re using Legal Service Portal, open a request by navigating to the Legal Service Portal and selecting **My Requests** > **View all requests** from the header.

2.  Select **My Requests** from the header.

3.  Open the conflict of interest disclosure request.

4.  From the Actions menu, select **Edit Request**.

5.  On the form, update the fields and click **Submit**.

    **Note:** You cannot update a few fields on the form, and so they show up as inactive.

After the approval flow gets triggered, the state of the request updates to Work in Progress.

The approval details appear under the **Approvals** tab on the Standard Ticket page.
