Ability to Cancel Pending Edits

[#1]

We all make mistakes. Currently, if we make a mistake in an edit in Maps, and realize that mistake, there is no way for us to withdraw an edit if it is in a pending state. We are forced to wait for the edit, even if wrong to be approved and published or "Not Applied".

Please consider adding an "undo" or "cancel" for edits in a pending state. Why should any editor want to waste another person's time checking facts when they know its incorrect.

Eventually this ability should be extended to pending edits submitted through the feedback process (roads and other miscellaneous).

Hello @RanaKurigram,

Thanks for submitting your idea!

Please note, that it has been suggested before, and I'm merging your post to Ability to Cancel Pending Edits to be able to cooperate.

Hello @RanaKurigram,

You've submitted this idea in two different posts, so I've gone ahead and merged them together since they are suggesting the same feature. 

If you want to add any further details about the idea, please do so in this thread.

@MWJones I agree!

Hey Google!

With good intent, we still make mistakes as humans,

I realize, from experience, that even wrong edits (place creations do get rapidly approved and published,

but, a request to modify could take forever,

Make it possible to cancel or withdraw edits. 

I am suggesting that Google (the Mods) make it possible for a contributor (Local Guide) to withdraw a place creation or other edits and possibly create afresh, so that wrong information do not stay long on the domain in wait of verification. 

On the other hand, I want to encourage the Mods to learn to show more trust in situations where an edit is being suggested by same person who added the place. 

In all, it will make for a better world, free from Corona, lol

Occasionally, I realize I've made an error after submitting a request for an edit. I would like to be able to be able to retract my request.
