# Presentation of the article page
Selecting an article will display the article information page.
This page is divided into:
* the upper area, containing the main information about the article
* the lower area, containing information related to versions
# Upper area: the main information
[](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/kJjE4XNBogQ1eF4x-image.png)
The main information module is located in the upper area. It contains the most important information about the manuscript:
- The reference, status and [flags](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editorial-office-guide/page/flags "Flags")
- [The quick actions tool bar](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editor-guide/page/the-quick-actions-toolbar "The quick actions toolbar")
- The article title
- The authors linked to the article, and tools to manage them
- The editors linked to the article, and [related management tools](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editor-guide/page/assigning-editors "Assigning editors") (if you are Editor-in-Chief)
- Dates, most notably the [due date](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editor-guide/page/the-due-date "The due date"), which is used to send automatic reminders and display belated and urgent articles in dashboards
# The quick actions toolbar
The quick actions toolbar is located in the upper part of the article page.
[](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/z7JpJan0NVObR16j-image.png)
It contains quick shortcuts to manage the article. Note that available actions will depend on:
- the article status
- your own editor profile (see [rights](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editorial-office-guide/page/editor-profiles "Editor profiles"))
For instance if the article is in peer review, the toolbar will allow you to reach actions to manage referees easily without scrolling to the referee module.

Likewise, you can send the editorial decision to the author directly from here.
# The due date
[](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/JrrZTZMOuQBYPjJm-image.png)
The due date is indicated in the upper part of the article page. The due date indicates:
- who must take action to move the article forward?
- when is the action due?
According to the article status, it is used:
- as a deadline for the editor to take a decision on the article
- as a deadline for the author to revise, when a revision has been requested
---
##### How does Nestor uses the due date?
Nestor uses the due date for two important features:
- highlighting delayed articles in [dashboards](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editor-guide/page/dashboards-status-and-counters) (with red counters)
- sending [automatic reminders](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editorial-office-guide/page/configuration-of-automatic-reminders)
---
##### How is the due date computed?
The due date is computed automatically when the article changes status, using:
today's date + a number of days
The number of days depends on the article type and its [workflow configuration](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editorial-office-guide/page/configuration-of-article-types). Some article types need faster processing times, so their due dates will be set earlier.
---
##### Can the due date be corrected?
Yes, the due date can be corrected!
- Automatically: the due date is corrected each time the article changes status
- Manually: the due date can be corrected just by clicking on it (if your profile allows it)
- Correcting the due date will prompt you to send an e-mail to the concerned person
- Typically, this happens when an author is granted a deadline extension to revise the paper.
