Submission Steps define a flow or series of steps that take place before, during and after a submission is made. These steps are defined to occur Once per Conference (completed only once) or Once per Submission (linked to a submission).
If the step is a file upload or is linked to a form in the forms module and data exists, the submission step cannot be removed.
To make the submission step inactive, you will need to set 'Display' = No.
Main Submission Step and Co-Author Steps are system generated and cannot be removed. Note: If your submission does not use Co-Authors, this step will be hidden.
Note: Under the Submission Settings, Edit Submission attribute will not hide or display a Submission Step. To manage access to Submission Steps, you must edit the Display attribute on the Submission Step itself.
