Co-manage update requests

When you create an update request, you're the request owner by default. As the owner, you can add up to five other people to manage the request together.

When you edit an update request, you can transfer ownership, add other people to manage the request, or remove people from managing it.

Keep in mind that only the request owner can delete a request. 

Customize reminders

When you set a due date on an update request, you can customize the reminder time to help make sure submitters complete and submit their updates on time.
