6. You can allow other users to apply changes to this report by checking the box. Any user you gave access in the Sharing settings will now see the pencil (edit) icon and can make changes. Any changes made to the original Report are permanent.

Alert
In most cases, do not select this box. Any user you give Sharing access can clone the original Report instead and make their adjustments in the clone. This preserves the original Report.
