Manage data updates and QA using drafts

When you import or update data, you can publish it straight away or save it as a draft. A draft lets you import updates and edit a dataset’s details without your users seeing the changes, so colleagues and collaborators can check them first.

  1. Open the Data Manager

    Select Manage in the navigation menu. The Data Manager opens on the Datasets tab.

  2. Select the dataset you want to edit

    Search for it by keyword, or use the filters (such as Status, Type and Date) to narrow the list.

  3. Edit the details and select Save Draft

    Your changes are saved as a draft. Users keep seeing the published version until you publish the draft.

    The Save Draft button

Use the Published / Draft toggle to switch between the draft and the published version.

The toggle between the draft and published versions

  1. On the Datasets tab, select Status

  2. Select Has draft

    The list shows only the datasets that have a draft.

  3. Once you’ve reviewed a draft, publish it

    Open the dataset and select Publish. To throw away a draft instead, open the dataset and select Options, then Delete draft.
