# 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.

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.

If you have added fields to the submission form that should be hidden from reviewers, see [How do I hide a submission field?](/getting-started/frequently-asked-questions/how-do-i-hide-a-submission-field-from-the-submissions-readers.md).

# Agent Instructions

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
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=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
