Edit my submission

This article explains how a participant can edit their existing submission.

    Submission details with the Edit submission button in the right side menu

You will be redirected to your submission form.

Why can't I edit my submission form?

A few things can explain why you can't edit your submission:

  1. The submission period is closed.

  2. Organizers didn't allow accepted submissions to be edited.

  3. 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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
