# Editing incidents

> How to review and update incident details after they've been submitted

Once an incident has been submitted (either from Vworker or directly in VCore), you can open it to review the details, add investigation notes, and record comments, actions, or outcomes.

## Instructions

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the incident">
    Navigate to the client's profile via **Clients** → **Profile**, then open the **Incidents** tab. Find the incident you want to review and click **Edit**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the incident form">
    The incident opens in a two-part layout:

    * **Step 1 (left side)** - The original incident form as submitted. This contains the details recorded by the person who raised the incident
    * **Step 2 (right side)** - The investigation and response section, where office staff add their review notes

  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the investigation">
    On the right side of the form, fill in the investigation details. Use the comment field to record any comments, actions taken, or outcomes from your review.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your changes">
    Click **Save** to update the incident record with your investigation notes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>Review incidents promptly after they're submitted. The incident notification on the home page shows unread incidents so you can stay on top of new submissions.</Tip>
