<p>I just submitted the common application to one college for ED but when I went back to the application to change some info for other colleges, I couldn't. All the text is in gray and I can't edit it. The only thing i wanted to put in was my SSN. anyone know how to fix this?</p>
<p>You can’t change that version of the commonapp once you submit it.</p>
<p>However, you can create an alternate version. Go to the commonapp help area, and search for “alternate version.” I forget the exact steps.</p>

Chance me? 
“Sorry for another chances thread, HYPS”</p>
<p>i have not submitted mine - it is in gray. how do i make changes? On my essay it just says view document not delete. I need to change it.</p>
<p>Like he said, you have to create an alternate version. The site must think you have submitted it to somewhere.</p>
