App Review will consider the suggestion for potential future updates and may contact you for more information.

Don't assume that submitting a complete suggestion guarantees the guideline will change.
Example (Complete)
"I understand that App Review typically uses demo accounts to complete a full review of my app. However, due to legal and security obligations, I'm unable to provide demo accounts that can be used in review. Can you add options to the guidelines for other ways I can provide full access for review? For example, I could implement a demonstration mode that shows off all of my apps features."
Example (Incomplete)
"This guideline doesn't make sense. Change it."
