In OCS, how to send a submitted abstract back because it is missing some information?

Hi @wenbin,

If you record a “revisions required” decision, the author should be able to revise it.

I have an abstract listed as REVISION REQUIRED. I can click it. However, I cannot see anywhere to make the revision. I expect to be able to replace the previous version with a new version. I cannot delete my previous attached suppl. file and I cannot upload a new file. The Choose File is disabled. Do you know why? A screenshot is attached.

Can anybody help answer this question?

Hi @wenbin,

The checks to see whether an author can upload a file are implemented in the mayEditPaper function: https://github.com/pkp/ocs/blob/master/classes/submission/author/AuthorAction.inc.php#L293

If the most recent decision on the paper is “revisions required”, but you still can’t upload the file, I suspect that your submission is either archived or declined.
