How to Enable Authors to Upload Revised Papers After Reviewer Feedback

During the paper review stage, authors can view reviewers' comments on their submissions. How can I enable authors to upload revised versions of their papers based on reviewers' feedback?

To allow authors to submit revised papers after reviewer feedback, ensure the following steps are completed:

1. The reviewers must change the submission status to either "Accept with Revision" or "Reject with Revision." This change enables the revision upload feature for authors.

2. As an administrator, you can manually update the submission status to these options from the backend if necessary.

3. Confirm that the submission deadline is extended beyond the current date to allow authors to make revisions and upload revised papers.

4. Note that the option "Accept with Revision" will only appear to reviewers if the Rebuttal functionality is enabled for your conference.

5. If you are using custom fields to collect reviewer feedback, reviewers might not see the revision status options, so manual backend updates are needed.

By completing these steps, authors will be able to make changes and upload the revised versions of their submissions after reviewing the comments.
