Edit description
- Navigate to the description you want to edit. For more information on navigation in ICA-AtoM, see access content
- Switch from view mode to edit mode by clicking the title bar or edit button; this takes you to the record's edit page. On loading, the edit page displays the record with all information areas closed; click on an information area to access the fields grouped under it
- Add/revise data as required
- To discard all changes, click the "Cancel" button in the button block; ICA-AtoM returns you to the view page, with no changes saved
- To save changes, click the "Save" button in the button block
Publish description
- All new and imported archival descriptions are automatically saved as draft records. This means that users who are not logged in cannot view these records. To publish the records, select "publish" in the gray box at the bottom of the edit page
- Publication status is inherited from the highest level of description; for example, when a fonds description is changed from draft to published, all child levels within the fonds are automatically changed as well
- If a user edits a published record the record's status is automatically changed back to draft.
