TIP: Each set of instructions below ends with a line telling you to click on the Submit Changes button at the bottom of the Update My Record Overall Summary screen. This might make it seem like you have to go in and out of Update My Record multiple times to update all the sections. In fact, you can enter or edit information in multiple sections and then submit all the updates at once. Simply click on the Edit button for the section you want to update, make your changes in that section and click on the Continue button to return to the Update My Record Overall Summary screen, click on the Edit button for the next section you want to update, and so on. When you.re all done making edits, scroll to the bottom of the Update My Record Overall Summary screen and click on the Submit Changes button to save all the changes at one time.

NOTE: Fields marked with a check mark () require approval by your AO before they will appear in NED. So, if you make a change and it looks like it didn’t stick, it could be that it’s simply waiting for AO approval. As soon as your AO approves your changes, they’ll be displayed.
