## Edit Citation

The nominator can edit the citation in an approval-based award only if the first level of approver has not approved it yet.

## Raise a request to Revoke Award

Nominators or approvers can request awards for revoking. If there are multiple approvers, the final approver can ask the previous approver to complete the approval process.

The revoking process can be centrally controlled by the Super Admin from the [Revoke award & Gifts](/empuls/platform-management/platform-administration/awards-values-and-gifts/revoke-awards-or-gifts.md) option.
