Additional files will be truncated if the amount given exceeds the Note: Additional files can be reordered by dragging the thumbnails vertically. Splitting Additional Files Into New Submissions There may be a case where you provide additional files and some of the websites you have selected do not accept additional files/alternate versions in the same submission. When one or more additional files are given, a new option is given to split that submission into new submissions. This will create a copy of the original submission, but it will use one of the additional files as the primary file for each new submission. Additionally, these copies will only submit to the websites that do not accept Additional files by default.
