Changing an article to usage-only after submitting

Post by Antonia »

I just submitted an article and filled out all three pricing options. Only after submitting did I remember that the article was a reworking of a Helium article, so I need to sell it for usage only. Duh! I went back into the submission, but the option to remove Full and Unique is gone...the best I could do was change the amounts to 0. I seem to remember I made this mistake once before, and the article was rejected despite my having changed the numbers to 0. Do I need to delete the whole article and resubmit? Thanks!

No, this is fine. We used to have to reject articles when authors filled in the usage price as $0, but filling out the unique and full rights fields with zero is the way to correctly price articles that have been published elsewhere.

Thanks for making the change. You're good to go.
