# Linking manually

To link a job to a changelist manually, issue the `p4 fix -c changenum jobname` command. If the changelist has already been submitted, the value of the job’s `Status` field is changed to `closed`. Otherwise, the status is not changed.

Example: Manually linking jobs to changelists.

You can use `p4 fix` to link a changelist to a job owned by another user.

Sarah has just submitted a job called `options-bug` to Bruno, but the bug has already been fixed in Bruno’s previously submitted changelist 18. Bruno links the job to the changelist by typing:

    p4 fix -c 18 options-bug

Because changelist 18 has already been submitted, the job’s status is changed to `closed`.
