# Reviewers for my venue cannot see their assigned submissions, what should I do?

In order for a reviewer to see their assigned submissions, they need to be logged into an OpenReview account that has read permissions for the submission.

If a specific reviewer cannot access their assigned submission, they may need to check that the email they received the invitation to is added and confirmed to their account- The email should be listed in their profile with (Confirmed) next to it. If this is not the case, they should follow the steps to [add an email ](/getting-started/creating-an-openreview-profile/add-or-remove-an-email-address-from-your-profile.md)to their account.

If all reviewers cannot access the forum page of their assigned submission, check that they are readers of the submission they are assigned to.

### Conference Review Workflow Venues

Reviewers are made readers of submissions in the Submission Change Before Reviewing step in the Workflow Timeline. If the step has not run yet, you can edit the date to the current time to activate the stage.

### Request Form Venues

On the [Venue Request Form](/getting-started/hosting-a-venue-on-openreview/navigating-your-venue-pages.md), make sure that the Submission Readers field includes reviewers. If reviewers are not listed as a reader, update the [Post Submission](/reference/stages/post-submission-stage.md) stage to add them as readers for their submissions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openreview.net/getting-started/frequently-asked-questions/reviewers-for-my-venue-cannot-see-their-assigned-submissions-what-should-i-do.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
