# Monitor pending changes

If you have submitted a project change order for internal approval, the proposed changes are transferred to the **Change order forecast model** as defined on the **Project Control Suite parameters**.

As a project manager, for your projects, you can monitor the submitted changes that are pending approval.

### Steps

1. Click **Project management and accounting** -> **Common** -> **Projects** -> **All projects**.
2. On the **All projects list** page, select a project.
3. On the **Action pane**, on the **Plan** tab, in the **Forecast** group, click one of the options.
4. On a forecasts form, you can view the pending changes. You can recognize a pending change by the:
  - **Forecast model** - The forecast model is the **Change order forecast model** as defined on the **Project Control Suite parameters**.
  - **Change description** - A description of the change is available.
  - **Project change order** - A related project change order is defined.
  - **Change order date** - The date on which the change order is submitted.
5. Close the forecasts form.

> [!NOTE]
> **Notes**
> 
> - Only changes to existing activities of existing projects are shown as pending changes in the forecasts. So, new (sub-)projects or new activities, as added in the project change order work breakdown structure, are not shown as pending changes in the forecasts.
> - If a change order is cancelled or rejected, the pending changes are removed from the project.
