Submit a Revision
How to read reviewer feedback and submit a revised version of your paper
When a track chair makes a revision decision (Minor Revision or Major Revision) on your paper and moves it to a revision phase, you will receive an email notification. Log in and follow the steps below.
Step 1 — Open Your Submission
Click "Submissions" in the sidebar, find your paper, and click "View Details". The Submission Status panel on the right shows everything you need:
- Phase tracker — which phase your paper is currently in
- Revision Deadline — the date by which your revised paper must be submitted
- Review Status — the decision (e.g., Minor Revision) with a "View Reviews" button
- Edit Submission button — click this when you are ready to submit your revision
Step 2 — Read the Reviewer Feedback
Click "View Reviews" to open the reviews page. Each reviewer's comments are listed, along with the chair's decision summary in the right panel.
Read all reviews carefully before starting your revision — most chairs expect a point-by-point response to reviewer comments.
Step 3 — Edit and Resubmit
Back on the submission detail page, click "Edit Submission". The form header confirms which phase you are editing in — for example, Phase: Camera-Ready — so you know exactly what is expected.
All original fields are editable. The chairs may have added phase-specific fields for this revision round — a common example is a Camera-Ready PDF field that only appears once the camera-ready phase begins.
Update what changed in your paper:
- Title, Abstract, Keywords — if your revisions affect them
- Submission File — click "Replace" to upload your revised PDF
- Camera-Ready PDF (if shown) — upload the final publication-ready version with author names and affiliations included
At the bottom:
- Optionally describe your changes in the Revision Comment field — track chairs can see this
- Optionally check "Notify all authors about this revision" to email all co-authors
- Click "Save Revision"
Each save creates a new version. Your previous version is preserved in the Version History on the submission detail page and remains downloadable at any time.
When the Edit Button Is Disabled
The Edit Submission button may be temporarily disabled if reviewers have active assignments in the current phase. This usually means the chairs are still processing the round — the button becomes available once assignments are resolved. If you are past the revision deadline, contact your track chairs directly.
