 4. Staged S3 objects are deleted on success; any leftovers are expired by the bucket lifecycle after 7 days.
 5. `--submit` submits for review on success.
 
+### Submit a Project for Review (No Re-upload)
+
+```bash
+cf submit [--project-root PATH]
+```
+
+Use this when your latest `cf push` already uploaded the files you want reviewed.  
+`cf submit` moves the platform project into review without requiring another upload.

 > [!TIP]
 > Try modes in this order: `cf push` → `cf push --remote` → `cf push --https`.
 > The SFTP mode is fastest when unrestricted, `--remote` is the best HTTPS
