How to Reopen Closed Submission Types to Allow Paper Submissions

What should I do if a submission type is marked as closed across all tracks, preventing authors from submitting their papers?

If the submission type is marked as closed and authors cannot submit papers, this usually indicates that the submission deadline for that type has passed or is set to a past date. To reopen the submission type and allow authors to submit papers, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the event administration backend.
2. Navigate to **Advanced Setup > Submission Types**.
3. Edit the specific submission type .
4. Go to the **Advanced settings** tab for that submission type.
5. Set the submission deadline to a future date that allows authors to submit.
6. Save the changes.

Once the deadline is updated to a future date, the system will mark the submission type as open, enabling authors to proceed with their submissions. Ensure to communicate any deadline changes appropriately to your authors.
