This key sends an automatic request to LINZ. The request created is ‘Survey – Return Survey Dataset’.
When you select the key, you’ll see a message offering you one last chance to reverse a decision to Withdraw.

The dataset is never deleted/withdrawn by LINZ. The plan will always be sent back to the surveyor by one of the two following methods:
- If the plan has not been assigned to anyone in LINZ, the system will automatically send the plan back to the surveyor.
- If the plan is assigned to someone in LINZ, the request will be searched for and LINZ will send the plan back to the surveyor.
