# 92009: The template associated with this SID has already been submitted for approval.

Log Type: APPLICATION

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

This error occurs when you submit a content template for WhatsApp approval and the same template SID has already been submitted. Twilio expects you to create a new template copy before making changes, because editing an existing template from the details page is not supported.

### Possible causes

* You tried to submit the same `ContentSid` for WhatsApp approval more than once.
* You made changes to an existing template instead of duplicating it first. Twilio only supports making changes by duplicating a template.

### Possible solutions

* Duplicate the template, make your changes in the new copy, and submit the duplicate for approval.
* Create a new template with a new `HX` SID before resubmitting for approval.
* If you are using the Console, choose `Save and submit for WhatsApp approval` only when the template is ready to be reviewed.
