Tip: Processing and Managing eSubmissions Outside of Ocean

If you manage eSubmissions outside of Ocean, open the eSubmission and use the three dots at the top to download and review the submission PDF, then continue processing externally.
In Ocean, selecting ‘Acknowledge’ moves the submission to the ‘In Progress’ folder, while ‘Decline’ moves it to ‘Completed’ folder.
