## Acknowledge a Shift Change

Follow these steps to acknowledge a shift change:

1. Tap the shift change notification, or open it from the Notifications list in the mobile app.
2. Review the banner describing what changed, along with the location, job, and who modified the shift and when.
3. Review the shift date and time.
4. Select **I requested this change** if the employee asked for the change, or **I did not request this change** if a manager made the change.
  1. Selecting either option enables the Acknowledge button.
5. Tap **Acknowledge**.
  1. The button changes to Acknowledged and the screen becomes read-only. If the submission fails, an error message appears and the button re-enables so the employee can try again.

### FAQ

#### What happens if tapping Acknowledge doesn't go through?

If the submission fails, an error message appears and the Acknowledge button re-enables so you can try again. Learn more about the [R365 mobile app](https://docs.restaurant365.com/docs/en/r365-app-overview).

#### Can I change my answer after I acknowledge a shift change?

No. Acknowledging a shift change is permanent — once you submit, your selection is locked and the screen becomes read-only. Learn more about the [R365 mobile app](https://docs.restaurant365.com/docs/en/r365-app-overview).

#### Where do I find a shift-change notification if I already closed or missed it?

Open the Notifications list in the R365 mobile app and tap the shift-change notification from there. See [Mobile Notifications](https://docs.restaurant365.com/docs/en/r365-red-app-notifications) for more on finding and managing notifications.

#### Why does my screen show one shift row instead of two (or vice versa)?

You'll see one row when a shift was added or removed, and two rows — Original shift and Updated shift — when a shift was extended, reduced, or otherwise edited. Learn more about [editing shifts](https://docs.restaurant365.com/docs/en/create-or-edit-shifts).

#### What happens if I open a notification for a shift change I already acknowledged?

You'll see your previous answer in a read-only view — no further action is needed or possible. Learn more about [Notifications](https://docs.restaurant365.com/docs/en/notifications-overview).
