:lock: ChangeSet.**Reject**

## Overview

This operation is used to reject a **Change Set**.

## Setup

No specific setup is required other than to meet the precondition of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The **Change Set** exists and it is in the "In Approval" state.
* If an Approval Workflow (MainStateModel) does not exist and the Change Set Approval Role is defined, then:
    * The user must belong to the role.
* If an Approval workflow exists, then:
    * a **Change Set** StateModelState role must be defined.
    * the user must belong to that role.

## Sequence of Steps

### Step 1

1. Select an existing **Change Set** whose state is *In Approval*.
2. Optionally, enter a comment.
3. Click **Reject** to complete the operation and the system will confirm that the **Change Set** has been rejected.
