Every submission on Dapple has one of two top-level states: Draft (saved but not yet submitted) or Submitted. Once submitted, it also has a Stage — a custom label set by the organisation (for example "In Review", "Shortlisted", or "Completed"). Stages are not standard across Dapple — each organisation defines its own.
How to check your submission status
Sign in to your Dapple account at app.dapplehq.com. Your submissions dashboard loads automatically, showing every submission you've made along with its current status. Click into any submission to see the full details, attachments, and any messages.
What the top-level states mean
State | What it means |
Draft | You started the form but haven't submitted yet. The organisation cannot see this submission — only you can. Your progress is saved so you can come back and finish later. |
Submitted | The form has been submitted to the organisation. From here, the Stage tells you where it is in their review process. |
Withdrawn | You recalled the submission before the organisation reviewed it. The organisation no longer has access to it. See the withdrawal article for details. |
What are Stages?
Stages are custom labels each organisation sets up for their review process. There are no default stages on Dapple — one organisation might call a stage "In Review", another might call the same point "First Round" or "Being Considered". The organisation moves your submission through their stages as they review it, and you'll see the latest stage in real time in your dashboard.
Who decides the outcome?
Dapple does not make submission decisions. The organisation reviewing your work sets the stages, assesses submissions against their own criteria, and determines the final outcome. If you have questions about criteria, timelines, or results, contact the organisation directly through their website — or use the message feature on your submission if they've enabled replies.
