# 7.20 - Duplicate submission warning, relaxed reverts

12 January 2026

#### Duplicate submission warning

Before creating a new submission, Nestor will check if the author already has a paper ongoing. The idea is to prevent unintended duplicates at revision.

#### Relaxed reverts

In order to simplify workflow corrections, status reverts are no longer tied to a mail event. Executing a revert will just raise a warning to the editor.

#### Miscellenaous

- All submissions: autosave of the author questionnaire
- LaTeX Submissions: authors first and last names are better segmented
- User search: slight UX improvements
- Referee creation: optional country/institute
