> Sent your WiseCost timesheet too early? While it is still in review you can withdraw it, fix your entries and then send it for approval again.

If you sent your timesheet for approval in WiseCost and then noticed a mistake, you can withdraw it while it is still in review. Withdrawing returns the timesheet to **Open**, so you can edit your entries and send it again. Once it is approved you can no longer withdraw it yourself.

## Withdraw it

1. Open **Time Tracker** and go to the payroll period of the timesheet.
2. Check its status. You can withdraw while it is **Pending**, which means it is in review.
3. Withdraw the timesheet. Its status goes back to **Open**.
4. Fix your entries.
5. Send it for approval again.

## If it was already approved

Ask your approver to reopen it. They can reopen an approved timesheet, and you then correct it and resubmit. If your company already posted that period, your admin has to reopen the payroll period first.

## If it was rejected

You do not need to withdraw anything. A rejected timesheet is already unlocked. See [Fixing a rejected timesheet](https://www.usewisecost.com/help/employees/fixing-a-rejected-timesheet).

Every submission, withdrawal and approval stays in the timesheet's history.
