# Change a product family after the client approved it

> Swap a fabric or add a chair to an approved set with the client's acceptance and a price-difference line, not a silent edit.

## Why this matters

After a client approves a set, changing it quietly undoes the record of what they agreed to. Proposing the change keeps the original approval intact, gets a fresh yes on the new version, and carries the price difference through to billing.

## The steps

1. [Product families](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/product-families): Review the family: its parent, sub-products and what the client sees.
2. [Propose a family change](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/propose-a-family-change): Propose the change and send it for your client's approval.
3. [Family revision proposals](https://docs.moodiri.com/approvals/family-revision-proposals): Follow the proposal on the approvals side until your client answers.
4. [Approve or request changes](https://docs.moodiri.com/for-clients/approve-or-request-changes): Your client accepts the change or asks for something different.
5. [Add project products to an invoice](https://docs.moodiri.com/invoices/add-project-products-to-an-invoice): Bill the accepted change on the next invoice.

## Good to know

- You can cancel a proposal before your client answers.
- If a proposal is closed, your client can ask you for a new one from the portal.
