This is a very common issue with our journal as well. I get several emails a week from authors who are unsure if their revisions were uploaded correctly because they received no confirmation.

Thanks @aulock
I modified your fist post in your behalf to fit the template.

Has there been any movement on this? I’ve gotten a few requests for this addition to the workflow as well and I can’t seem to find an alternate workaround that would do the same thing as this potential feature. Unless I’m missing one.

Hello, just to chime in that we see a fair few requests for exactly this feature, too, and would welcome any steps towards making it available in OJS.

Thank you!

Best,

Hi all, has there been any development on sending a confirmation of revised version submission to authors? it seems an easy thing to fix, from the outside, as editors already receive this message by default. Or is there a setting which I am overlooking that would trigger this?
Thank you!

Hi All,
I have been requested by editors to enable this feature since a lot of authors are asking them if they received the revised article or not. An automatic reply just like the one when they submit there paper will more the enough to confirm that for the authors.
Thank you

This is also a request we hear from our editors. Editors in turn hear it from authors, who say that receiving a confirmation email is pretty standard practice when they submit to journals, so not getting an automatic reply makes them unsure whether the revisions were successfully uploaded.

This is also a common request from our authors, so I definitely support this feature request.
