Delete abstract
Edit abstract
If abstracts have been submitted more than once for testing purposes, you can remove or withdraw them from the submission process. Deleting abstracts is not possible but not necessary:
Abstracts that have not been submitted or withdrawn will not be included in the review process or in statistics.
Withdrawn abstracts will not be taken into account for invoicing purposes.

> Abstracts (without review process)

Yes, withdraw submissionbutton.
After an abstract has been withdrawn, you can still find it in the "Users" menu. The withdrawn abstract is now highlighted in yellow and can be ignored.
If the "Withdraw" tab is not visible, the abstract is already in the planning phase (see below).

Abstracts with different submission statuses are listed in the "Users" section. Submitted abstracts are color-coded according to their status: black = submitted abstracts.

Withdraw tab not visible?
Note: Abstracts cannot be withdrawn once the review or planning process has started. Accordingly, the "Withdraw" tab is not visible in the abstract editing form.
If an abstract still needs to be withdrawn from the process because
it has been submitted more than once, please contact us
a speaker has cancelled, please cancel the abstract
