If an appeal decision has NOT been changed, how will the appeal likely be marked?

When an appeal decision has not been changed, it indicates that the original ruling or decision remains in effect. Therefore, the appeal is marked as upheld. This means that the appellate body has reviewed the case and found no reason to alter the original decision, effectively supporting it. The term "upheld" signifies that the appeal did not find sufficient grounds to modify or overturn the previous ruling, maintaining the status quo of the case.

In contrast, options such as dismissed or overturned imply a different outcome for the appeal. A decision marked as dismissed generally means that the appeal was not considered for some procedural reason or was deemed invalid from the outset. Overturned would suggest that the original decision has been changed or rejected, which is not the case here. Hence, "upheld" accurately reflects the situation where the decision remains unchanged.
