How about the ability to delete or edit a pending review or review edit?

Sometimes I post a review or a review edit and I made a mistake, typo, or wanted to clarify something. How about the ability to edit or delete a pending review. Because we have to wait until they are published before we can alter them again. Sometimes, I'll have to make several edits.

Thank you...

The same problem exists in these help forums, except that, you can edit anything you post, as long as someone does not make a direct reply to it. Any way we can change that too? So that we can edit after someone has replied? I understand why the edit button should vanish after a reply is made, but maybe it could be left for about 10 minutes in case we need to correct something... In my case, typos always kill me. I just made a detailed response to a thread I'm involved in, I was able to fix most of my blunders, and then someone replied and my final fix would not post. At least the ability to post an edit after someone replies, if we started that edit BEFORE the reply was made, that way, I don't feel like 10 minutes worth of editing is not in vain...

I have added a similar Idea post here, and linked to your post:

Add the ability for contributors to cancel their pending contributions

I agree with this and posted about it a few years ago. Today I submitted a review, found a typo, re-submitted with the typo fixed, yet it was quickly declined for being a duplicate - "exactly the same", in the words of the decline message - although it wasn't really, because a typo was fixed. Meanwhile the original review is still pending, so I'll have to wait for that to process before fixing the typo, assuming it doesn't get declined again for the same false positive reason.
