Submit and track your map

Review & publishing

What happens after you submit:

The submission detail view in the dashboard — Contributions Airport Detail View in the dashboard

Your submission queues as pending. You get a confirmation email and a status badge in My submissions.
On approve it replaces the published bars - the Base map, or that add-on’s map - and reaches the sim almost immediately. Plugins pick it up on their next poll; no restart.
On reject the live map is untouched. The reason reaches your dashboard and inbox, so you can fix it and resubmit.

Review is not all-or-nothing. The reviewer works bar by bar:

Accept a bar.
✗ Reject it - that bar reverts to the published one.
✎ Edit it - they adjust it themselves.

Each ✗ and ✎ asks for a reason, and those reasons pre-fill your email. So the published map can differ from what you sent, with a note telling you where and why. (A reviewer may also come back with a needs-info question and an image before deciding.)

Track everything in your dashboard → Contributions:

Status	Meaning
`pending`	Queued, awaiting a reviewer.
`approved`	Published - live for everyone on that map.
`rejected`	Declined; the live map is untouched. Fix and resubmit.
`reverted`	A moderator later rolled the map back to its pre-submission state. If yours was the first map for that scenery it is unpublished entirely. The entry stays and can be approved again.

An airport’s full edit history is under Find an airport - per sim, with the scenery and who reviewed each entry. Each status badge there is a link to a read-only what changed diff.

Moderators - who reviews your map

Reviews are done by the XPGuard team and by community moderators.
A moderator reviews their own countries’ airports only. One scoped to Türkiye sees the pending LT·· submissions. (Admins are unrestricted.)
Approval works the same either way: the map is checked against the real airport and published.
