Review times at Forge Market can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the product, the current volume of submissions, and the category of the product. On average, you can expect the following review durations:

• Simple Items: Typically reviewed within 1-2 business days. These include straightforward products such as basic templates, simple mockups, or single-page applications that align closely with Forge Market's submission guidelines.
• Complex Items: May take up to 5 business days due to the thorough evaluation required. Complex products often involve multi-page templates, comprehensive plugins, or products with intricate functionalities that necessitate detailed testing and validation.
