All of the steps take precedence starting from the top most row. To re-arrange the precedence of your changes, use the up and down arrows in the actions column. To delete a change, use the trash can icon, but be warned that there is no way to undelete a deleted commission change.

== Adding a Commission Change ==
First, you will need to fill in the Username or Login ID of the Affiliate account(s) you wish to set up a commission change for. If this field is blank, set to Default, or set to ALL, the Commission Change will be applied to all affiliates. Then, choose the Country(s) you want the change to effect. To select more than one country, click a country while holding the ''Ctrl'' key. For faster selecting, you can click while holding the ''Shift'' key, which will select all countries between your newly clicked country and your previously clicked country.  Lastly, select a Change Type:
