Entry resubmission

Resubmission allows program managers to give selected entrants the ability to update a submitted entry outside of a normal entry round.

The option to resubmit only appears for entries that have already been submitted. If an entrant completed an eligibility screener, they must recheck eligibility before resubmitting.

Should I use resubmission?

Resubmission is ideal when your entry process has multiple stages and only selected entrants should provide additional information. For example, shortlisted entrants are invited to answer extra questions after their initial submission.

Trigger resubmission

Individually

1. In the Manage workspace, go to Entries
2. Click the overflow menu (three dots) next to the entry
3. Select Require resubmission

In bulk

1. In the Manage workspace, go to Entries
2. Select the checkbox next to the submitted entries
3. Open the Action drop-down
4. Select Require resubmission

Controlling dates

To control when resubmission must be completed, set a Review / resubmission ends date in your entry round. If you do not set this date, entrants can resubmit indefinitely. 

Notifications

You can notify entrants when their entry has been resubmitted by creating a notification with the 'Entry resubmitted' trigger. To create this notification:

1. In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > General > Notifications
2. Click New notification
3. Choose Entry resubmitted from the Trigger drop-down
4. Add a subject and email body
5. Use merge fields to include information from the resubmitted entry
6. Click Save

Good to know

• Only submitted entries can be flagged for resubmission.
• Entries requiring resubmission can still be judged unless reverted to 'In progress'.
• Entries with custom deadlines cannot be applied to entries flagged for resubmission.
• Resubmission does not affect payment status.
• Review / resubmission deadlines must be set in your round settings.
