Manage Group Data and Quality Assurance using drafts

During the import process, you have the option of making data live immediately, or publishing as a draft. Drafts enable you to import updates and edit data details without making them available to your users. 

This 'draft' step enables colleagues and collaborators to perform quality-assurance checks. 

Edit dataset details using drafts

1. Select 'Manage' from the top navigation menu

2. Select the dataset you wish to edit.

You can locate your dataset by entering a search term and filtering by group, date created, data type, status, and last update. 

3. Edit the details and select 'Save Draft'

Compare Draft and Published Datasets

Use the toggle at the top of your screen to compare draft and published versions.

Filter for Draft Datasets

1. From Manage Data, Click 'Filter' and select 'Status'

2. Select 'Has Draft'

This will give you a filtered view of all the drafts available in your data service.

3. Once reviewed, Publish the data.
