# Technical check

---

### Article type configuration

The technical check workflow is first defined at the [article type level](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editorial-office-guide/page/article-types). For each article type, you can enable/disable the technical check, and set up the time granted to the author to satisfy the technical check:

### Profile configuration

Once article types are configured, you must ensure <span style="text-decoration: underline;">at least one person</span> can perform the technical check action.

- To do so, at least one [editor profile](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editorial-office-guide/page/editor-profiles) must have the right to handle technical checks:[![image.png](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-08/scaled-1680-/MF0UqQn6WjE4uKCM-image.png)](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-08/MF0UqQn6WjE4uKCM-image.png)
- Then, ensure this person account is set up with this profile:[![image.png](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-08/scaled-1680-/XeEbcgksZ2I9gRd2-image.png)](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-08/XeEbcgksZ2I9gRd2-image.png)

### Configuration of technical check e-mails

Once technical check is set up, new submissions/revisions will feature those two actions:

These actions trigger e-mails, whose templates are configurable in the [mail configuration](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editorial-office-guide/chapter/configuration-of-e-mail-templates-and-reminders):

TC e-mails can be triggered only to the corresponding author, who will need to correct his paper accordingly.

NB A special event exists to notify the editor when the author revises after a technical check:
