Unsubmit to make changes
Take your idea back to edit it, then submit it again.
A submitted idea can’t be edited, by you or by its collaborators. To change it, unsubmit it: it goes back to being a draft, and you submit it again when you’re done. The challenge’s managers aren’t told when you unsubmit.
You can unsubmit at any time, even after the challenge has closed. Submitting again is different: it only works while the challenge is open, or while your idea has its own deadline that hasn’t passed. If you unsubmit after the challenge has closed, your idea stays a draft for good, unless a challenge manager gives it its own deadline.
On your submitted idea, click More actions (…) at the top right.
Choose Unsubmit idea. You’re asked Unsubmit idea to continue editing?
Click Confirm. Idea unsubmitted confirms it, and your idea is a draft again. Edit it, then submit it again.
Once the challenge has closed, you can still unsubmit your idea, but you can’t submit it again. Only do this if a challenge manager has agreed to give your idea its own deadline.
At the bottom of your submitted idea, click Unsubmit idea & resume editing.
Read the warning: once the challenge has closed, you won’t be able to submit your idea again. To keep it submitted, click Cancel.
If you click Confirm, your idea becomes a draft and stays one. Submit is greyed out, because the challenge is now closed to submissions.
There are two ways to unsubmit: Unsubmit idea in the More actions (…) menu, or Unsubmit idea & resume editing at the bottom of your idea. Both ask you to confirm first.
