My files have been rejected because of similar content in our collection. How can I upload these files again now?

My files have been rejected because of similar content in our collection. How can I upload these files again now? The files that were removed are the icon set ones.

    Rejection due to "similar content" applies not only to the asset's actual content but also to its title and keywords.
    For themes that are already heavily saturated, simply uploading an asset is insufficient; a distinct thematic approach is required, as buyers would otherwise struggle to find it amidst the competition.

    ==========

    Not surprising. Icons are massively oversaturated.

    OPTION 1: Submit Stock rejections to other services.

    OPTION 2: Re-work similar content with fresh elements or themes that distinguish it from other inventory.

    OPTION 3: Set it aside and work on other projects.

     

    Before submitting, compare your work with current inventory. Search by keywords or use the Reverse Image Search feature.

    Good luck.

    Files with different fish in a fantasy environment are all being rejected for same content after six were already accepted with different fish. I am waiting a week and then I am going to contact Support to see if we can straighten out this issue, there is nothing wrong with my quality as 6. Others have been accepted. They are not the same if the giant fish is different
