How can I disable the "REVISED VERSION NOTIFY" email?

Software Support
1

We do not require that an email be sent out to the section editor when a submission’s revised version has been uploaded.
The prepared emails section does not have the disable functionality for “REVISED VERSION NOTIFY”.

Is there any way that we can disable this email?

Hi @lubna,

Emails that cannot be disabled are generally purely voluntary, i.e. the user can choose to send it if they like but it’s not required by the workflow.

Hi @asmecher

This particular email gets sent automatically the moment I upload the revised version.
Unlike some others, It does not generate an email page where I can click on “skip” button.
Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi @lubna,

What version of OJS are you using?

Hi @asmecher

Our OJS version is 2.4.5 upgraded to 2.4.6 through patch.

Hi @lubna,

Execute this in your MySQL client:

 UPDATE email_templates_default SET can_disable=1 WHERE email_key='REVISED_VERSION_NOTIFY';

This will allow you to disable the template in the “Prepared Emails” interface.

I’ve adjusted the XML descriptor so that future installs will permit disabling of this template:
