Validating the Upload

3. Click the Preview button next to that version.
   The Publish Preview page appears.
   

4. Review the uploaded file by exploring the investigation details. If you are satisfied with the content of this version, request its publication by clicking Publish this Version.

5. Check your inbox for an email with the subject line "Investigation Published." You can also confirm the published state of your file by checking the value of the Published Version field (the number should equal the number of the version you intended to publish) and the Published field (should be true) on the Upload ISA TAB Files page.
