Submitting for Review
ContributorOnce your article is complete and you are satisfied with the content, formatting, and media, it is time to submit it for editorial review. This guide covers the submission process and what to expect afterward.
Before You Submit
Run through this checklist to make sure your article is ready:
Self-review saves time
Taking ten minutes to review your own work before submitting reduces editorial back-and-forth and gets your article published faster.
How to Submit
Your article is now in the editorial queue. An editor will be notified and will review your submission.
Status change is final
Once you change the status to "In Review," you should not continue editing the article unless an editor sends it back to you with feedback. Making changes while an article is under review can cause confusion.
What Happens Next
After you submit, the editorial process follows these stages:
- Editor reviews your article — an editor reads through your content, checking for accuracy, clarity, formatting, and adherence to platform guidelines.
- Approval or revision request — the editor either approves the article (moving it to "Approved" status) or sends it back to "Draft" status with feedback.
- If revisions are requested, you will see the article return to Draft status. Check for editorial comments or notes explaining what needs to change.
- After approval, a publisher makes the article live. You do not need to take any further action.
Responding to Editorial Feedback
If your article is sent back for revisions:
Revision requests are normal and not a reflection of poor work. Even experienced writers benefit from editorial feedback. The goal is to publish the best possible content for learners.
Tracking Your Submissions
You can monitor the status of all your articles from the Articles list view. Use the status filter to see which articles are in Draft, In Review, or have been Approved. See Managing Your Drafts for more on organizing your articles.
