### 💡 Pro-Tips for Vendors

* Save as Draft: You don't need to finish your application in one sitting. Use the "Save Draft" feature to return later.
* Check Notifications: Ensure your primary contact email is updated in the Company Profile to receive automated status alerts.
* Review Criteria: Before submitting a new draft, double-check the [Eligibility Criteria](/pre-approval-guide/eligibility-criteria.md) to ensure your solution meets the latest requirements.
