The Chrome Web Store supports canceling a pending review. Use this, for example, if
you've discovered a bug or typo in your extension after submitting it for
review. Instead of waiting for the review to finish, cancel the review and
re-submit a new version of your extension.

## How to cancel a review?

After submitting an extension, cancel the review by clicking **⋮ View
more menu options** on the **Store listing** page. Select **Cancel review** . The **Cancel review** option will only be displayed
while your extension's status is **Pending review**. The current status is displayed below the extension title.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Important:** Each publisher can cancel a review up to six times per day.

A confirmation dialog appears when you request to cancel a review. Once you click the **Cancel review** button to confirm, the submission will be canceled and returned to a draft state.
