changing the common app after submitting it to a school?

<p>so i was under the impression that if you submitted the common app to only one school, you could edit it before sending it to the next, so i went ahead and sent it off to my EA safeties, figuring i could edit it more in time for my RD schools. but now going through the common app it's not letting me edit anything anymore- is it impossible to change anything after sending it to the first school, or is there something i can do to be able to edit?</p>

<p>never mind, figured out how to make alternate versions- sorry for freaking out without doing my research! :)</p>

<p>I have the same exact question-
what’s an alternate version?</p>

<p>^‘help’ will give you more information, but basically go to ‘instructions’ and in the list there’s ‘application versions’. you click on that and it tells you what to do :)</p>
