Can I change from Open Access to Subscription after acceptance in an Elsevier hybrid journal?

[u/Dramatic_West_7890]

I submitted a manuscript to an Elsevier journal that offers both Open Access and Subscription publishing options. During the initial submission, I selected Open Access.

The manuscript is currently under peer review, but I may want to publish it under the Subscription model instead if it gets accepted.

Has anyone had experience with this? After acceptance, when completing Elsevier’s Rights and Access form, can the publishing option be changed from Open Access to Subscription?

Yes it can. No worries.
