Editing items in ScholarWorks

There are two views for works: Browse and Edit. The public-facing view of a work is the Browse view. To access the Edit view, navigate to a work and click the Edit button. 

In the Edit view for a work, you can select one of the following tabs: Descriptions, Files, Relationships, and Sharing. 

  • Descriptions tab

    • Edit, add, or remove metadata elements. 

  • Files tab

    • If you add files, you must recheck the deposit agreement before saving.

  • Relationships tab

    • Select another administrative set from the drop-down menu

    • Add to a collection, remove from a collection

    • Add a child work from existing works in repository, deposit a new work as child work (this is only available after the in edit view, not at the time of deposit).

  • Sharing tab

    • Share work with users or group and select access level (e.g. view/download, edit)

    • Edit access for existing users/group with whom work is shared

    • Remove access for existing users/group with whom work is shared


       

You can also edit the visibility for the work by selecting a different visibility option. If you edit the sharing or visibility of the work, you can either opt to have all files in the work inherit these permissions, or have the individual files retain their permissions so that they can be edited manually.

To apply the changes, click the Save changes button.
