### Referee reinvitations

When the editor receives a revision, it is now easier to check the referee activity on previous versions

and to reinvite the referee easily:

### Submission files: media type locking (file extensions)  


The configuration of file types has been improved: each custom file type for your journal may now be restricted to specific media types.

For example, let us consider that your journal requests a cover letter at submission.

Thanks to this update, this cover letter may now be restricted to PDF of DOC formats: this is up to you!

In the submission tunnel, this will translate like so:

### E-mail templates: improvements on variables  


Variables related to [editors responsibity](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editor-guide/chapter/editor-assignment-and-responsibility) have been added: the editor in charge and technical editor may now be called in mail templates.

Furthermore, date variables now provide a very convenient tool to set up date formats:

### Production interface for authors  


The production interface has been slightly improved for authors: removing duplicate buttons, and setting up proper warnings.
