# How to undo a confirmation

**For:** Manager | Shift worker
**You'll need:** A time entry with status **'Confirmed'**.

You'll roll a single row back from **'Confirmed'** to **'Published'** when you need to fix the times or you confirmed by mistake. Undoing a confirmation reverses every accrual the confirmation triggered — it's the exact inverse of {doc}`confirm-a-time-entry`.

## Undo the confirmation

::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: platform

:::{tab-item} Web
:sync: web

1. In the header, go to **Planning → Management → Timesheet**.
2. Find the confirmed row.
3. Open the row's **'⋯'** menu and click **'Undo confirmation'**.

:::{tab-item} Mobile app
:sync: mobile

On your **own** row:

1. Tap **More** in the bottom bar, then **'Timesheets'**.
2. Tap the row carrying the **'Confirmed'** badge.
3. Tap **'Undo confirmation'**.

As a **manager**, on someone else's row:

1. Tap **More** in the bottom bar, then **'Manager'**, then **'Timesheets'**.
2. Tap the confirmed row.
3. Tap **'Undo confirmation'**.

The action needs a connection; offline it isn't offered. It stays available even when your company is on automatic time approval — it's the manual escape hatch.

## What undo does

- The status flips back to **'Published'**.
- The confirmation (who confirmed it, and when) is cleared.
- Leave accruals tied to the row are reversed — see {doc}`/manage-leave/leave-requests/index`.
- Time-compensation accruals tied to the row are reversed — see {doc}`/rules-and-compliance/time-compensation/index`.
- Any clock times that were auto-filled from the schedule are cleared, so you can re-enter the right times before re-confirming.

```{warning}
Clearing the auto-filled times is intentional — it forces a fresh confirmation. If you only want to change a real punch by a minute, edit the row first ({doc}`edit-clock-in-clock-out`); editing clears the confirmation on its own.
```

## Verify it worked

The row's status badge reads **'Published'** and the leave or time-compensation balance is back to its pre-confirmation value.

## Locked rows

If the row has been **approved**, it's locked — the **'Undo confirmation'** action is disabled. Unapprove it first. See {doc}`locked-period-ux`.
