This will result in the following dialog box:

This will allow you the Admin to send an email to the applicant, using an external email client such as MS Outlook, to inform the applicant that they need to make some changes to their application. It is important to note that without sending an email directly to the affiliate, they will **not** be notified of any change in their application (i.e. they will not receive any notification email from the MLDS system). This is because they must be informed of the changes that they need to make.

The application will be shown with a 'Change Requested' status in the Pending Applications screen as follows:

As with requesting changes, it is important to note that without sending an email directly to the affiliate, they will **not** be notified of their application being denied (i.e. they will not receive any notification email from the MLDS system). It is the decision of the user whether they need to be informed of the reasons for the decision.
