# How do I navigate through the Checklist to submit my response?

## Symptom

How do I navigate through the **Checklist** to submit my response?

Where can I bid in this auction?

I don't see where I can place a bid.

## Resolution

You navigate through the **Checklist** on the left side of the event by clicking each step in numerical order.

Here are a few guidelines about the **Checklist**:

- Your current step is indicated with a vertical blue bar on the left.
- When you first access an event, the **Review Event Details** step appears.
- **Review and Accept Prerequisites** is the second step in the **Checklist**. You access this step by clicking the link in the **Checklist** or by clicking the blue **Review Prerequisites** button at the top of the page. You cannot access the **Submit Response** step at this point.
- In the **Review and Accept Prerequisites** step, you answer any questions and click **OK** to submit.
- Some events can also require you to select which lots/line items you will bid on. If you see this step, click **Select Lots/Line Items**, select the lot(s) concerned, click **Submit Selected Lots.**
- In the **Submit Response** step, which is the final step in the **Checklist**, you provide your answers to any questions created by the buyer.

When finished, click **Submit Entire Response** to transmit your answers to the buyer. Click **OK** to confirm that you are ready to submit.

If all required fields are completed, you will receive the following confirmation message:

Your response has been submitted. Thank you for participating in the event.

## See Also

Once you have already accepted the prerequisites and selected the lots, if you access the event again, you'll land in the **Submit Bids** tab.

Some buyers tend to submit an initial bid for you. In this context, please review the details of the response. You need to click **Review Initial Bid**, and click **Done**, after that you are allowed to submit your bid.
