# Review and accept entity changes

# Review and accept entity changes {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Review the impact of proposed entity changes and accept the changes when the impact is expected.

## Before you begin

* Entity approvals must be configured for the applicable change type. See [Configure entity approvals](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/LSkBNPZpZ4kzVL2gNoxfrQ "Specify which types of entity changes require review before they take effect.").
* Role required: sn_grc_change_mgmt.implementer

## About this task

When an entity filter or source record change meets the configured approval condition, the system creates a change task. Open change tasks appear on the Needs review tab of the Impact approvals page. The change task shows impacted entities and their associated risks and controls.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllEntity managementImpact approvals.
2. On the Needs review tab, open the change task that you want to review.
3. Review the Summary of changes.  
   The summary shows the number of impacted entities, risks, and controls.
4. Review the impacted entities and their downstream impacts.
   1. View an entity's associated risks and controls by selecting the entity.
   2. View the records associated with a downstream impact by selecting a value in the Downstream impacts column.
   3. Refine the displayed records using the available filter and sort options.
   4. Export the impact information by selecting Export to Excel.
5. If the impact information does not reflect the latest entity filter or source record changes, select Fetch latest changes.  
   The system recalculates the impact and updates the summary, impacted records, and last-refreshed information.
6. Select Accept changes.
7. In the Accept changes dialog, select Confirm.  
   Warning:  
   This action can't be undone. The changes are applied to the entity and all downstream records.

## Result

The system applies the accepted changes and moves the change task to the Closed state. The completed change task appears on the History tab, where you can review the summary and impacted records.
