Select the Submissions tab
Click on one of your submissions. You can use the search bar to locate it easily.
From the side menu on the right, click Edit submission.
You will be redirected to your submission form.
To replace a poster or another file, delete the current file in the form. Then upload the new file.
Why can't I edit my submission form?
A few things can explain why you can't edit your submission:
The submission period is closed.
Organizers didn't allow accepted submissions to be edited.
You're not the submitter. Authors listed on a submission, including presenters, are only able to view a submission. Among participants, only the submitter can edit the submission.
If you don't see Edit submission
Among participants, only the submitter sees Edit submission. The submitter is the person whose email address is on the submission form. If you don't see the button:
You're logged in with another email address. The right address received the submission confirmation email. Click your profile picture to see your email address. If it's different, click Log out and log in with the right one.
You're a co-author, not the submitter. Co-authors and presenters can view the submission, but they can't edit it. Ask the submitter or the event organizers to make the changes.
The deadline doesn't hide the button. If the form shows It is not possible to modify this form., see the reasons above.
For organizers: see Add or edit a submission on behalf of a submitter.
Confirm your participation or answer a new question from the organizers
If you're the submitter of an accepted submission, the organizers can email you to confirm or decline your presentation, or to answer a new question. Your participant dashboard has no accept button. The organizers add these questions to the submission form. You answer them when you edit your submission.
To answer the question:
Open your submission and click Edit submission, as the steps above describe.
Find the new question in the form, and answer it.
Click Save form.
You see The form has been successfully saved.
If the email from the organizers has a link to your submission form, click it to open the form directly.
After the submission deadline, you can edit an accepted submission only if the organizers allow it. If the form shows It is not possible to modify this form., contact the event organizers. If you don't see Edit submission, see the section above. If you don't see the new question in the form, contact the event organizers.
