Can my customers edit a notice after placement?

Column aims to empower your customers to have more control and autonomy over the public notice process. That's why Column enables customers to edit notices in a way that does not significantly affect most publishers' workflows. We encourage all publishers to allow advertiser editing because this gives your customers the freedom to make changes before you finalize their order.

In most cases, customers can edit a notice only if two things are true:

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

2. Your ad deadline for the first run date of the notice has not passed.

If a customer edits a notice, you will receive an email about the change.

Most newspapers do not lay out their print ads until one of the above actions is taken; therefore, providing customers with more control over their notices has proven beneficial for all parties.

However, you can turn off permission for your customers to edit notices. To change these permissions, click the settings gear in the upper right-hand corner and select My Organization. Then on the left-hand side of the page, choose Advertising Deadlines. On the right-hand side of the page, under Allow Customer to Edit Notices, you can click the blue switch to allow or deny advertiser editing. Then click Save to make sure your preferences save.
