Handle edits

Note

Users can edit content in their own libraries. Moderators don’t need to approve these edits. The edits appear in the Edits queue to give admins and moderators a full timeline of changes.

Users can suggest metadata edits on objects they can access. When a user suggests an edit, it’s sent to the Edits queue for review. Moderators and pod admins can accept or reject these edits.

Required permissions
  • Moderation – provides access to the administration menu.

  • Library – provides access to the library menu.

Each edit object contains the following information:

  • A Modification ID – the unique ID of the modification. Select this to show the modification in context with the edited object.

  • A timestamp of when the user suggested the edit.

  • The status of the edit.

  • The Field that the user edited.

  • The Old value that the user edited.

  • The New value that the user entered.

  • The user who suggested the edit.

    • Reject – reject the edit and leave the object in its current state.

    • Delete – delete the edit suggestion without taking further action. The object remains in its current state.
