Why aren’t my changes showing up?

Depending on what you’re trying to do, Walmart may need to approve your request. If you look in activity monitor, only activities with a green check mark are completed. Items with an orange Spark logo have been submitted to Walmart for approval. These generally are routed to the correct associate, but if you need quick approval, or the activity is taking too long to be approved, you can send your buyer the activity ID. A blue icon means that you have to make corrections before your changes can reflect.
