Submissions on OJS are there first step before getting processed in the later workflow process. However, It may be on special occasions in your journal you want to disable the submission because you need to halt the process of submission because of the upgrade process, accreditation, or evaluation process by some institution or other thing.

Conclusion #
Disabling the submission on OJS is very easy. This feature can help your journal halt the process of submission of OJS when there is some plan that needs to be done by the journal manager. It also can help the OJS technical team to do something with OJS such as when it is in the upgrade process and other technical things. I hope it is clear enough to disable the submission on the OJS. Let share us if you know another way in the comments below.
