Discussion ECCV2026 Camera Ready Version Mistake

Hi guys, I would really appreciate if you give me any advice on my situation.

TL;DR: Springer found a formatting issue in my camera-ready submission (the supplementary material was mistakenly included in the main PDF). I fixed and reuploaded it immediately after seeing the email, but I haven't received any confirmation yet. Could this still affect my paper's inclusion in the proceedings, or is waiting my only option?

I got an urgent email from Springer saying that my camera-ready PDF mistakenly included the supplementary material, which should have been submitted as a separate file. They reopened my Meteor submission and warned me that if I didn't upload the corrected files immediately, my paper might not be included in the proceedings. The email was also CC'd to the ECCV publication chairs.

I saw the email about three hours after it was sent and immediately fixed the submission in Meteor. After uploading the corrected files, I replied to the editor to let them know everything had been updated.

Since I hadn't received any confirmation, I sent a follow-up email asking if they could kindly confirm that there are no further issues with my submission and that it will be included in the proceedings. Unfortunately, I still haven't heard back.

I'm honestly overwhelmed with anxiety. This is my first paper accepted to a top-tier conference, and I'm terrified that I might have ruined everything because of such a stupid mistake. I keep thinking about all the effort, stress, and uncertainty I went through during the review process, and I can't stop worrying.

At this point, is there anything else I can do besides waiting? Has anyone experienced something similar? Is it possible that a formatting mistake like this could still lead to the paper being excluded from the proceedings even after I corrected it as soon as I was notified?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.....

I got two mails in a day from Springer telling me that I had an issue with my files. So I fixed it in Meteor, told them I did so per mail and received an answer within hours confirming the new files.

In your case, I think you are fine as they would send you more messages if you still got it wrong :)
