There are two possible ways to post decisions to papers:

1. Manually, using individual Decision buttons on each paper

2. In bulk, using the Decision Stage.

The first option will be automatically enabled after the Decision Stage is run.

To upload decisions in bulk, you can do the following:

1. Create your decisions csv. The csv should contain the paper_id, decision, and comment for each paper, with one paper per line. It should not include column names. The comment field is optional, so you can leave that column empty if you wish. Your csv should look something like the following:

or like this:

1. From your , click the Decision Stage button. Upload your decisions csv for the "Decisions File" field.

2. Click submit.

If you had already manually posted decisions, the bulk upload will overwrite them.

OpenReview supports TeX and LaTeX notation in many places throughout the site, including forum comments and reviews, paper abstracts, and venue homepages. To indicate that some piece of text should be rendered as TeX, use the delimiters $...$ for inline math or $$...$$ for displayed math. For example, this raw text:

This is what the Pythagorean theorem $x^2 + y^2 = z^2$ looks like.

Here is an example of multiple integrals:

$$
\iiiint_V \mu(t,u,v,w) \\,dt\\,du\\,dv\\,dw
$$

will be displayed as:

For more information on LaTeX notation we recommend Overleaf's Guide. For more information about OpenReview TeX support, go here.

Venues can choose to allow users to add basic formatting to text content by enabling Markdown in specific places such as official reviews and rebuttals. Markdown is a plain text format for writing structured documents based on common conventions for indicating formatting. It is currently used by many prominent websites including GitHub and StackOverflow. It can be used to add headings, bold, italics, lists, tables, and more. For a brief overview of the features of Markdown see CommonMark.org’s reference. OpenReview follows the CommonMark spec, with the exception of images and inline HTML which are not supported.

If Markdown is enabled, you will see that the text input has two tabs at the top: Write and Preview. This feature allows you to enter plain text in the Write tab and quickly see what the HTML output will look on the page in the Preview tab.

If Markdown formatting has not been enabled by the venue, you can still format your text using regular line breaks and spaces for indentation.

If revisions have been enabled by your venue's Program Chairs, you may edit your submission by clicking the Revision button on its forum page. You can find your submission by going to the Author console listed in the venue's home page or by going to your profile under the section 'Recent Publications'.

In the event PCs receive requests from authors to update camera-ready pdfs there are two ways to approach this.

1. Extend the camera-ready deadline - this opens a window for anyone to make revisions.

2. Revise camera-ready papers individually - this limits revisions to select papers.

Extend the camera-ready deadline

Click the ‘Submission Revision Stage’ button to set up camera-ready revisions for papers and the authors will be able to update their PDFs.

Revise camera-ready papers individually

The best way to do this is to navigate to the camera-ready super invitation for the conference.

How to build the url for the super invitation:

What is my conference group ID?

Once you've navigated to the super invitation (the page header will include "Camera-Ready Revision") scroll passed the General Info and Reply Parameters to "Child Invitations". The total count of child invitations should be in parenthesis. Listed with hyperlinks are the invitations for the papers, click on the papers you wish to revise.

On the Camera-Ready Revision page for the paper, in the General Info section there are dates listed, click the “Edit General Info” button.

Modify the expiration date to the desired point in the future and click “Save Invitation”.

The author or PCs are now free to update the PDF.
