Main Page > (UM) User manual > UM-3 Add / edit content > UM-3.3 Add / edit archival institutions > UM-3.3.2 Edit an existing archival institution
1. Navigate to the archival institution you want to edit.
- For more information on navigation in ICA-AtoM, see UM-4 Access content.
2. Switch from view mode to edit mode by clicking the title bar or edit button; this takes you to the record's edit screen. On loading, the edit screen displays the record with all information areas closed; click on an information area to access the fields grouped under it.
3. Add / revise data as required.
- See Data entry pages (UM-3.3.4 - UM-3.3.8) for detailed explanations and notes on fields.
4. To discard all changes, click the cancel button in the button block; ICA-AtoM returns you to view mode, with no changes saved.
5. To save changes, click the save button in the button block; ICA-AtoM commits the changes and re-loads the page.
- Note that re-loading the page causes all information areas to close; this behaviour will be revised in a future release (post-1.0 beta) of ICA-AtoM (i.e. page will stay open as it was before save).
