# Returning expenses for review

Once an expense has been reviewed, it can be returned to the authorized people for review so that they can update any required information related to that expense.

You can return an expense for review before its details have been confirmed, before it has been authorized for payment, or after the expense has been scheduled (more on the [expense lifecycle in Payhawk](/help/overview-of-expenses-for-accountants)).

For this example, let's take the case before the expense details have been confirmed:

1. In the [Payhawk Web Portal](https://portal.payhawk.com), go to **Spend** > **Company spend** > **Pay** > **Confirm details** tab.
2. Select the desired expense by clicking on it.
3. Click on its three-dot menu and select the **Return for review** option. As a result, the expense will move under the **Review** tab for the authorized people to review again.
