You can manage your effects through the Manage section that displays a list of all submitted and published effects, including their status, analytics, and other actions. Each row shows the submission or last updated date, as well as the total number of views. For published effects, additional analytics and usage data are available by expanding the row.
Effect status
Every effect you create and submit will have its own row that shows its thumbnail, name, and status.
- Under review: Effects that you submitted and are currently being reviewed.
- Revision needed: Effects that need to be updated before they can be approved or published.
- Published: Effects that have been approved and are currently available on YouTube.
- Deleted: Effects that you permanently removed and are no longer available for use on YouTube. They will still be viewable in videos where the effect was previously used.
Resubmit an effect
If your effect doesn't follow the guidelines, its status will indicate that it needs to be submitted. You'll get an email with details and required changes. Then, you'll be asked to make the changes and resubmit your effect.
Changes will be required if there are issues with:
- Technical aspects
- Violative and/or harmful content
- Effect name
- Effect thumbnail
If there's an issue with the effect information you submitted, you can modify your effect and try to submit it again.
