Editing Omeka: Updating existing records

== Updating an existing record ==

There are multiple kinds of Omeka records; almost all of them can be edited and have information added using these instructions.

This is very easy. However, you must first have a login to Omeka-S, our archiving software; and you must know how to access it and log in. Talk with the director if you are not that far yet!

* Find the record. There are several ways to do this, but the easiest is entering the record title in the Search box at the top of the left column.
* Edit the record. In a search result, click on the pencil icon to the right of the title. If you are already looking at the item record, click the “Edit Item” button in the top right corner.
* Text edits occur in the fields on the first screen. The fields you see are pre-selected as the most commonly used for that type of item and will probably be sufficient, but know that there are many more fields available in the right column.
* Add photographs, video, recordings or other media using the “Media” tab at the top of the record.
* Save the record with the “Save” button in the top right corner.
