## Verified review path

Open the prior FAFSA separately so the active draft remains intact. From Dashboard, open My Activity, select the processed FAFSA, then open FAFSA Submission Summary → FAFSA Form Answers.

A prior form is historical evidence only. Reconfirm all current, financial, household, college, contributor, and contact facts before reusing them. Never make corrections to the historical form during a review.
