## Viewing approved years

For each approved year, the following details are displayed:

- **Submitted by** – the name of the user who submitted the budget for approval.
- **Submission date** – when the budget was formally submitted.
- **Approved by** – the name of the user who approved the budget.
- **Approval date** – the date the approval was granted.
- **Approved contributions** – the total contribution amount approved for that year.
- **Approved plan PDF** – a downloadable copy of the maintenance plan as it was approved, preserving a historical snapshot.

## Reset approval

- The **Reset Approval** feature becomes available **only if no changes have been made** to subsequent years of the plan since the approval was granted.
- Resetting the approval will **unlock that year’s budget**, returning it to an editable state.
