# Withdrawing or removing your submission from a symposium
## If settings allow, you can withdraw your submission from a symposium.
NB: The guidance below is for users who are submitting to a conference. If you are the administrator of an event please see [The submission stage](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/knowledge/the-submission-stage?hsLang=en).
There are two ways to do this.
**Skip to:**
[First method of removing a submission from a symposium. ](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/knowledge/withdrawing-or-removing-your-submission-from-a-symposium#First-method)
[Second method of removing a submission from a symposium. ](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/knowledge/withdrawing-or-removing-your-submission-from-a-symposium#Second-method)
From your dashboard go to the submission you wish to remove from a symposium and **click the title of your submission.**
On the next screen, you’ll see your submission and at the top of the page, you will see what symposium your submission is attached to. From here click **REMOVE** on the right-hand side.
This will **remove the symposium from your submission**.
The page will now show all the symposiums available to you, should you need to attach your submission to a different symposium.
If you have followed the above steps and you do not need to attach your submission to another symposium then you do not need to do anything else.
You have successfully removed your submission to a symposium.

Or you can remove your submission using the following instructions.

You will then be prompted with a warning. Click **OK** if you would like to go ahead.
Click **Continue** to return to your dashboard.
