Setup Final Review

December 1, 2025 Updated December 1, 2025

This part is more of a formality and final sign off by the conference organizer. Similar to the Short Abstract round, it is a basic Accept / Reject.

Under Reviewing > View / Add Reviewers for the Final Papers round, you can add your final reviewers here.

There may only be a handful of reviewers or only one reviewer. You can assign all the papers in bulk using a quick bulk assignment rule.
