Allowing Speakers to Revise Conditionally Accepted Submissions

Last updated Jul 18, 2026

Question

How can I enable speakers to revise their submissions directly after conditional acceptance without reopening all submissions?

Answer

To allow speakers to revise their submissions after conditional acceptance (e.g., "Accept with Revision" or "Reject with Revision"), follow these steps:

1. In Submission Settings, enable the option "Enable post-deadline revisions for conditionally accepted or rejected submissions" and set an appropriate revision deadline.
2. Change the status of the relevant submissions to "Accept with Revision" or "Reject with Revision." Only submissions with these statuses will be allowed revisions.
3. Check individual submission fields in the field editor under "Submission Questions" to ensure no specific deadlines are set that prevent editing. If a field shows "Deadline reached. This field cannot be updated," remove or extend its deadline to allow editing.

This approach enables targeted revisions without reopening the entire submission process.
