# Submission procedures

This is the final Run 2 platform workflow recorded in the archive. It is a historical operational reference, not a live Run 3 instruction. Verify the platform and current run announcement before use.

## Ordered workflow

1. Create or open the project on `platform.wafer.space`. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1524956674861957282); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1524956674861957282))
2. Add the Crowd Supply order number to the project. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1524956674861957282); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1524956674861957282))
3. If CoB service was bought, enable the CoB option. Passing a pad check does not buy CoB service. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1524956674861957282); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1524956674861957282)) ([archive message](/evidence/i-information/general#message-1533495383844585493); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570941/1533495383844585493))
4. Upload the GDS. The GDS may come from LibreLane or another tool. ([archive message](/evidence/i-information/general#message-1523496492365512827); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570941/1523496492365512827))
5. Pass the current online precheck. The online check is the manufacturing gate. Local precheck is useful for debugging. ([archive message](/evidence/designing/project-template#message-1428379167623483543); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1423348662318272592/1428379167623483543))
6. Select **submitted for manufacturing** before the run deadline. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1524956674861957282); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1524956674861957282))

## Revision behavior

**Confirmed for the Run 2 platform:** A designer could select a new manufacturing revision until the deadline. This supported “submit early, submit often,” but did not authorize changes after the deadline. ([archive message](/evidence/i-information/platform#message-1525184072932917288); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1524222823378190336/1525184072932917288))

**Confirmed diagnostic aid:** Platform failures were intended to show the command that ran so the same failure could be reproduced locally. ([archive message](/evidence/i-information/platform#message-1525818813525004400); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1524222823378190336/1525818813525004400))

## Signoff boundary

Passing open precheck is not final foundry approval. After reticle stitching, GF runs a proprietary DRC deck. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1451217412861988895); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1451217412861988895))

## Obsolete guidance

**Obsolete test-platform history — 2025-11-19:** Community messages described giving the test platform a GDS URL plus MD5 or SHA1. The later official Run 2 instruction used `platform.wafer.space`, online upload, a current precheck pass, and the manufacturing-submission selection. ([archive message](/evidence/i-information/questions/threads/release-checklist#message-1440824970979573812); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1434837450735353896/1440824970979573812)) ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1524956674861957282); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1524956674861957282))
