Edit Files

While reviewing your draft dataset record, you may notice missing files or erroneously shared files. Don’t worry, you can edit your files within the draft dataset before publishing it.

If you forgot to include a file(s) and need to upload more, click on ‘Edit Dataset’ in the upper right of the dataset record and select ‘Files (Upload)’ from the drop-down.

You will be redirected to the file upload manager where you can select or drag-and-drop your files into the uploader. Once UNC Dataverse has finished uploading the files you can add file-level metadata as needed. Click ‘Save Changes’ when you have finished adding files.

If you need to delete a file, scroll down to the Files tab of the draft dataset record. Click the checkbox beside each file(s) you wish to delete. Select ‘Edit Files’ on the far right and choose ‘Delete’.
