CVPR Workshops Leave Submission ID Unclear

Hot take: this feels like a template convention question, not a substantive review criterion, so the risk is probably lower than the fear suggests.

• –CVPR’s official materials emphasize that submissions are handled through OpenReview, but I did not find workshop-specific language saying the Submission ID box is mandatory for workshops.

• –The most plausible value for that field, if a workshop expects one, is the OpenReview paper/submission number; that is an inference from how CVPR/OpenReview workflows are structured, not a directly stated workshop rule.
• –The stronger desk-rejection risk in CVPR materials is usually tied to core compliance items like proper formatting and complete OpenReview profiles, not a missing workshop Submission ID field.

• –Practical read: if the workshop chairs or author instructions do not specify otherwise, filling in the OpenReview submission number is the safest choice, but a blank field alone is unlikely to be fatal unless that specific workshop says so.
