Delayed Revisions & Reactivation

What happens when a returned article waits too long.

Why this exists

Revision delays can leave old articles hanging between writer and editor. Reactivation gives the platform a clean way to reopen useful work while keeping the active workflow readable.

What you should do

1. Open Submissions and find the inactive or returned article.
2. Read the editor's revision notes again.
3. Decide whether the article is still something you want to continue.
4. Request reactivation if the article still fits the platform and you are ready to revise.
5. Wait for Manager review before expecting the article to move again.

When to start fresh

• The article no longer reflects what you want to say.
• The topic has changed so much that revision would be confusing.
• The editor feedback points toward a completely different piece.
