Versioning ISA TAB Files
The first time you upload an ISA TAB file to a new project, it is the first version of that file.
It is a best practice to associate only one investigation with a project. You can upload multiple versions of an ISA-TAB file to that project. You may want to do this if you change your investigation data or need to fix it due to an upload error. Each time you upload a new ISA TAB file to a project, the version number increases by one.
Publishing ISA-TAB Files to CSSI DCC
- Upload at least one ISA-TAB file to a project.
- If you have uploaded multiple versions of the file to the project, decide which version of the ISA-TAB file you want to publish to CSSI DCC.
Click the Preview button next to that version.
The Publish Preview page appears.
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. If you are not satisfied or the upload generated an error, click Return to go back to your project and upload a new version of the ISA-TAB file.
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.
