Wait for Approval

The CurseForge team will review your modpack to make sure it is a legitimate one and that it is under their terms of service and licensing rules.

When the process is done, you will receive an email telling you if your modpack was approved or not and also explaining why. Depending on the circumstances, the process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several days. Be sure to keep an eye on your mail account to see when the modpack is approved.

After receiving approval, your modpack will be published on CurseForge.

---

If your modpack is not approved, no worries. Just be sure to read through the mail you received and see what needs to be changed.

Then you just need to modify the files according to what needs to be changed and re-upload the modpack files. There is no need to create another modpack profile. You just need to re-upload the files for the existing one. Then, your modpack will go through the approval process again.
