IEEE Conference vs IEEE Transactions—what's the difference?

Conference papers use 'conference' style (short author block). Transactions use 'journal' style (detailed affiliations). Select the right template.

How do I make figures span both columns?

In TypeTeX, toggle 'Full width' on any figure to span both columns properly.

What about IEEE Access format?

We have a separate IEEE Access template with its specific requirements (single-column review, two-column final).
