Notes:

• A vacancy cannot be restored once it has been cancelled.
• Upon cancellation of a vacancy, or if the only request associated with a vacancy has been cancelled (thereby also cancelling the associated vacancy), all active reviews are automatically recalled, and a notification is sent to the review owner, follower(s) and reviewer(s) notifying them of the auto recall.
• All “Make and Return Selection” and “Return Review” tasks are moved into a Cancelled status.
