# Adding late submissions

Authors cannot submit new or editing existing content after the submissions deadline. Administrators can do this for authors at any time by follow the steps below. There are two ways to create a late submission on behalf of an author.

#### Through your dashboard:

You can use the submissions  summary card on your dashboard. Click on **Enter Late Submission** and follow the prompts to add a new submission after the deadline.

When using **tracks**, the submissions overview card displays an **Add Submission** button that you can use to add a late submission.

#### Through the initial submissions hub:

Admins can add submissions after the deadline by:

1. Clicking on **Submissions** at the top of the page
2. Selecting **Initial Submissions**
3. From the List of Submissions, click on the **+ New Submission** button
4. Follow the prompts to complete the submission workflow

### Considerations for late submissions:

#### Ensuring you are not listed as the author:

When submitting content on behalf of an author, you will want to ensure you are not listed as the author. It is important to remove yourself as an author if you are listed as one. You can then add in the actual author(s) information.

#### Deciding on how to manage the review for the new submission(s):

If you are adding a submission into the system late, your review stage might be that:

- you have allocated and your review is already in progress. In this case, you can: 
    - Manually assign the recently added submission to reviewers - we have an [article on editing review assignments during the review here](https://help.exordo.com/changing-review-assignments-mid-review?hsLang=en)
    - [Accept the submission with out a review](https://help.exordo.com/accepting-a-submission-without-a-review?hsLang=en), this is commonly used for submissions like keynotes and invited speakers
- you have allocated, but the review is not open yet. In this case, you can: 
    - Assign the submission to reviewers manually. Check out this [article on how to edit the allocation before the review starts](https://help.exordo.com/editing-your-allocation?hsLang=en) for details.
    - Mark the submission as Do Not Review so you can accept it without requiring reviews to complete an in depth review. Check out this article on [accepting submissions without a review here](https://help.exordo.com/accepting-a-submission-without-a-review?hsLang=en).
- you have not allocated yet. If you have not allocated just yet, this submission will be treated just like all other submissions. The next step would be to: 
    - allocate when ready. We have an article on this here: [Allocating submissions to reviewers](https://help.exordo.com/allocating-submissions-to-reviewers?hsLang=en)
    - edit your allocation to change assignments, if needed. You can see the full steps here: [Editing your allocation](https://help.exordo.com/editing-your-allocation?hsLang=en)
    - open your review by [notifying reviewers to get started](https://help.exordo.com/notify-reviewers-to-begin-reviewing?hsLang=en)
