Edit a Submission

How to update author information, paper details, or files after submitting

After submitting a paper, you can edit it to fix author information, update your abstract, replace files, and more.

Find Your Submission

  1. Click "Submissions" in the sidebar
  2. Find the submission you want to edit and click "View Details"
My Submissions page showing list of submitted papers with View Details links

Open the Edit Form

On the submission detail page, click the "Edit Submission" button in the right sidebar under Submission Status.

Update Your Submission

The edit form shows all fields from the original submission, pre-filled with your current data. You can update:

  • Title and Abstract
  • Author information — names, emails, affiliations, country, and corresponding author designation
  • Keywords
  • Uploaded files — replace your submission PDF

To update a co-author's affiliation, find their author card in the form and edit the Affiliation field directly.

Add a Revision Comment and Save

At the bottom of the form:

  1. Optionally describe what you changed in the revision comment field
  2. Optionally check "Notify all authors about this revision" to email all co-authors
  3. Click "Save Revision"
Revision comment field and Save Revision button

Each edit creates a new version. Previous versions are preserved in the Version History on the submission detail page.

When Editing Is Not Available

The "Edit Submission" button may be disabled in certain situations:

  • Submission is withdrawn — withdrawn papers cannot be edited
  • Submission was rejected — rejected or desk-rejected papers cannot be edited
  • Reviews are in progress — if reviewers have already accepted their assignments for the current phase

If you need to make changes but the edit button is disabled, contact your track chairs and provide the submission ID and the corrections needed. They can edit any submission at any time.

Who can edit?

Only the original submitting author and conference/track chairs can edit a submission. Co-authors listed on the paper cannot edit it directly — they should ask the submitting author to make changes on their behalf.
