# When will I be able to withdraw my submission?

#### For Authors

The timeline for submission withdrawals is determined by the Program Chairs of each venue. Therefore, there is not a single overarching OpenReview withdrawal policy. If you have questions about when in a venue workflow you will be able to withdraw your submission, you should reach out to the Program Chairs of that venue directly. 

#### For Program Chairs 

Authors are able to withdraw their paper at any time after the submission deadline or after [Post Submission Stage](https://docs.openreview.net/reference/stages/post-submission-stage) has been run. You can optionally restrict the withdrawal window from your [venue request form](https://docs.openreview.net/getting-started/hosting-a-venue-on-openreview/navigating-your-venue-pages). You can also use the venue request form to configure the visibility of withdrawn and desk-rejected papers, as well as the identities of their authors.
