Action
When the Editor dealing with your submission chooses to ask for a revision you will be notified by e-mail. In your EES Author homepage the submission will move from the section Submissions Being Processed to Submissions Needing Revision.

1. Using your source files, revise your submission according to the Reviewers' comments.

2. When you have completed your revisions, log in to EES and click Submissions Needing Revision.

3. Click the link under the View Decision column to view the Editor's decision letter.

4. Click Revise Submission to begin uploading your revised manuscript.

5. Click OK in the following pop-up window to confirm that you are ready to submit your revised files.

6. Your original submission details are retained in EES.  Update any information as needed (such as title, Authors, keywords, etc.) following the steps shown in Submitting a Manuscript.

7. You may have the option to enter your comments in a Respond to Reviewers section.*  If needed, you may view the original Editor and Reviewer comments by clicking on the View Decision Letter link. A new window will open showing the decision letter. You may copy and paste from the letter into the text box and enter your response(s) accordingly.

8. Once you reach the Attach Files step, you will have the option to include files from your original submission. Check the boxes next to each item that you wish to keep as part of your revised submission. Untick the box next to any files that you do not wish to retain as part of the revised submission.

9. You may be required to upload a Marked Revision or Revision with Tracked Changes as part of your revised paper. This is a copy of the revised paper with your edits and changes highlighted.

10. After uploading the revised items, build a new PDF and approve it to submit the revision to the journal office.

* Revision Notes/Rebuttal to Reviewers/Response to Reviewers
If you are re-submitting a paper that has been revised many journals require a document which provides a detailed account of how you have responded to editorial and peer review comments and other guidance you may have received. Where suggestions have not been followed you must explain and justify your decision. This should include specific reference by section / page / paragraph number to alterations in the text.

Note: If you choose not to submit a revision and want to withdraw your manuscript from consideration, click Decline to revise to inform the editor. You may Recover a Revise Submission if you select this option in error.
