# Revert a kanban job status - Impact workspace

Use **Revert status** to return a kanban job to an allowed earlier status. For example, you might return a job from **Prepared** to **Planned** when it requires further planning.

## Steps

1. Go to **Product information management > Engineering change management > Engineering change orders**.
2. Open a released ECO you want to review.
3. On the Action Pane, in the **Business impact** group, select **Open impact workspace**.

The workspace opens for the selected ECO.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If the ECO has no lines yet, the button is unavailable. Add at least one affected product first.
4. In the **Kanban jobs** section, locate the affected kanban job.
5. Select **Revert status**.

The **Revert status** pane opens on the right.
6. Review the kanban ID, current status, item number, status date and time, and quantity.
7. In the **Status transition** field, select an available previous status.

Available transitions depend on the current job status.
8. Review the warning about how the status change affects job preparation and scheduling.
9. Select **Confirm** to revert the status.

To close the pane without changing the status, select **Cancel**.

After the status is reverted:

- The kanban job changes to the selected status.
- The **Action status** changes to **Reverted**.
- An entry is added to the **Change log**. For more information, see [Track actions in the change log](/manufacturing/docs/track-actions-in-the-change-log-impact-workspace).
