# Why Can’t I Submit My Track?

## If your track is blocked due to a rightsholder or authorisation issue, learn how to update your contact permissions and enable submission.

If your track cannot be submitted, it is usually because we do not have authorisation to represent any share of the rights.

To submit to Distribution, Sync Representation or Publishing Administration, at least one share must be authorised.

To fix this:

1. Open your song in My Music.
2. Go to Master rightsholders or Publishing rightsholders.
3. Click the contact icon to open your address book.
4. Edit the relevant contact.
5. Tick the box confirming you are authorised to collect royalties and/or licensing fees on behalf of this contact.
6. Save your changes.

If you control 100% of the rights, you must authorise yourself.
