# Editing Forecasts
<a name="plans-editing-forecasts"></a>

You can adjust forecasts based on your business knowledge and market insights.

**To edit a forecast:**

1. Open the chat panel in Plans.

1. Specify your adjustment by clearly indicating:
   + Time periods to adjust
   + Products and sites affected
   + New forecast values (as absolute numbers or percentage changes)
   + Reason for your adjustment

**Example:** "Increase the forecast for Product A at Site B by 15% for January 2026 due to planned promotion."

Monitor the status banner:
+ **Blue banner**: The system is processing your change. The publish button is disabled during this time.
+ **Green banner**: Your change has been applied successfully. Updated forecasts appear highlighted in light blue.

**Providing feedback:**

You can also provide feedback to improve future forecasts:
+ Suggestions on how the system should handle missing data
+ Which accuracy metrics are most important for your business
+ Recommendations for new consensus rules or adjustments to existing rules

## Concurrent Plan Editing

Since multiple planners can work on the same plan simultaneously, coordination is essential to avoid conflicts:
+ Establish team protocols where each planner is responsible for specific product segments.
+ Watch for the blue "Plan is being updated" banner, which appears across all users when any planner is making changes.
+ Wait for the green "Forecast is updated" banner before starting your own edits.
+ Coordinate editing schedules with your team to avoid conflicts.
+ Establish a team communication practice where planners announce significant changes in a shared channel.
