If you need to delete a public item, this will need to be done by us or your institutional administrator, please see I’ve accidentally set my data to public, what should I do?
To edit a public item head to My data, click anywhere on the item's information other than the item title. This will open a new tab. Clicking the title will open the public view of the item.
As the item is published, changes to the metadata field or the file itself will trigger a new version once you click 'Publish', but the DOI remains the same. If you wish to change the file/s, you will first have to delete the existing file. To do this:
1. At the top of the edit item page, click on the 'Manage files' link in the file section (top of the page):
2. Once the window opens, you can click the 'x' to the right hand side.
3. You can then click 'Add files' or click 'Apply changes' and drag and drop a new file on the metadata entry page
4. Click save changes to save privately only or click the 'Publish item' button to save and publish the new version
Private items can be edited/ deleted the same way as public items (outlined above). Remember to click save changes and this will not create a new version.
However, if you wish to delete the entire item you can do so by scrolling to the bottom of the metadata form and click Delete item:
The item will no longer exist in My data (private items only).
