# Request review on mitigations

POST/accounts/{account\_id}/abuse-reports/{report\_id}/mitigations/appeal

Request a review of mitigations applied because of an abuse report, or submit a report-level appeal.

- To request a review of specific mitigations, send `appeals` with the mitigation IDs and reasons. Repeating a request for a mitigation with an unresolved appeal is idempotent and returns that mitigation in the in-review state.
- To submit a report-level appeal, send `type` and, for a `counter_notice`, the counter-notice details in `data`. Report-level appeals are currently available only for DMCA (copyright) reports.
