*<mark style="color:green;">Reminder: All users can see this section. UNLESS in the invitation to the contractor they were not given access to Billing. Think about how a site worker or sub-contractor might not want to have access to this information.</mark>*

## Change Orders

A Contractor must initiate a Change Order.

Hit Submit.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The Change Order now appears on the list. Note that in the Mobile view, the amount is not listed because of screen space. It is shown on the Tablet view.
