Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion

The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.

Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:

  • Correct any misunderstandings
  • Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
  • Support discussions where official clarification is needed

Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.

Thank you for being part of the conversation.

    Hi @cynthia-tab1, The following is provided with the understanding that the rep can only select one fragment per email in the example. In general, if the fragments are different messages, then they may not be reviewed under one submission as there will be discrete emails with distinct messages sent. Assuming the common content of the emails exceed 60% pickup, the emails should be submitted as a series for each separate fragment with an initial parent file and all subsequent fragments submitted as a child file. If the fragments are the same message but written in varying language, then an iterative submission may be possible under the same efile number. Please see our submissions guidance document under 2.2.1 (b) iterative submissions and (c) Other series for additional information.

    Hi @nhem Change to copy post approval generally requires a new file and new fee. In the scenario described above, it sounds as though one option from the drop-down menu will be removed/de-activated. PAAB does not require that all options within the drop-down options list, remain active. If that is the intent of the revision and question, it would not require resubmission. However, addition of new content (e.g. replacing or adding options) that requires assessment post-approval requires a new file and new fee. If we have not fully captured the request, please reach out to admin to set up a call with the reviewer. It may be easier to assess the actions when looking at the file in question.
