Hello,

I hope you're well. I submitted the theme 15 days ago but haven't received any updates yet. Could you please let me know how much longer it will take to review the theme?

Thank you.

Hi!

I have had a quick look at the theme and at this point, it does not follow the requirements.

The Theme Review Team does not hard reject themes, -we want you to resubmit your theme, but we need you to read the requirements more carefully.
If the requirements are unclear, let us know so that we can continue to improve them.

When a ticket is closed as not approved, it loses its position in the review queue.
When the update is submitted, a new ticket is created at the end of the queue.
