How do I edit my notice?

If you need to edit a notice, and editing notices is enabled for the publication to which your notice was submitted, log into Column, https://www.column.us/login, click on the Notice Name in Active Notices, and then click the edit icon, which looks like a writing instrument and paper on the Notice Details page. The edit icon for each notice is located near the Notice Name on the Notice Details page.

Please keep in mind that not all publishers allow customers to edit notices independently. This is to ensure legal compliance and adherence to the publisher's formatting and content standards.

If you need to make edits to your notice and find that you cannot, use the "Cancel Notice" button on the Notice Details page to cancel the notice, pending certain criteria. Thereafter, place the notice again with the correct information.

Alternatively, please contact the newspaper staff directly or help@column.us.  Include the Notice Name, Publication Name, and Notice ID (found on the Ad Proof or Invoice), and describe the edits required. 

Requests for edits may only be accommodated BEFORE the publisher's advertising deadline.  If edits must be made after publication has begun, the affidavit may become invalid, and the notice may need to be canceled and rescheduled.  

After you place a notice, you can edit your order if two things are true:

1. You have not received an invoice for the notice.

2. The publisher's ad deadline for your notice's first publication date has not passed.

If you make edits to a notice, the publisher will receive an email notifying them of the change, so you can be sure the most recent version of your notice will be published.

1. Select the notice you'd like to edit from your notices table. Click the edit icon next to the notice name at the top of your notice details page. If you can't click this button, that means the publisher does not allow customers to edit notices.

   

2. You will enter a series of steps similar to the original placement process.

   

3. In the Create Notice step, you can edit the content of your notice and make any desired edits or formatting changes. 

4. In the Schedule Notice step, you can edit the notice name, publication dates, or invoice and affidavit preferences. Note that we recommend not editing your notice's name — simply to avoid confusion for you and the newspaper.

5. Once you're satisfied with the changes, click Review & Confirm Edits. You can review the proof to check that your changes are correct, then click Submit to finalize your edits. The publisher will receive notification that your notice has been updated.
