# How to begin the Review Stage while Submissions are Open In order to begin reviewing while still accepting submissions, you will need to change the submission deadline to a past date, otherwise the Paper Matching Setup button won't be available. Run the Paper Matching Setup for reviewers and then you can access the [matching](/how-to-guides/paper-matching-and-assignment/how-to-do-automatic-assignments/how-to-run-a-paper-matching.md) from the PC console. Set your submission deadline back to its original time. You will need to run the Paper Matching Setup after the Submission Deadline expires to assign reviewers to new submissions and if you added new reviewers to the reviewer's group. You can use the [Review Stage](/reference/stages/review-stage.md) at anytime to set the configuration and the stage will run automatically when the Start Date passes. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
