This section describes how to use only the Upload Single ISA Archive tab. For instructions on using the remaining tabs, refer to Using DCC as a Multi-uploader.

   3. Enter a unique name for your new folder. Note that this name can differ from the title within the ISA archive.

     The file is listed in the File Upload area and the status is listed as Ready.

3. If the file is 100 GB or smaller, click Upload selected files. If the file is larger than 100 GB, use Globus instead, as described in Uploading Large Files from Globus. 

   The file begins processing and the status moves through the following stages:

   If errors appear, refer to Understanding Upload Errors. When the system finishes processing the upload request, the uploaded file appears as a new folder in the list of folders at the top of the page. At this point, the new folder contains only one investigation version.

   Info icon false title Note Visible to GP-CFW_DES_DEV Users Only If your user account has a role with the Upload Files permission and Manage Investigations permission, a Delete button is available next to the edit icon. This button performs a "soft" delete of the investigation folder, which means that the data can be recovered, if necessary. (The concept known as a folder in the DCC portal home is known as a project in the Admin Dashboard.) For information, refer to Tentatively Deleting an Investigation Project.

5. If needed now or later, to edit the metadata of an investigation version, click View/Edit Metadata in the row for that version. The edit metadata page for that investigation version appears. For details, refer to Editing Investigation Metadata.

6. Consider making this version available to all CSSI DCC users by requesting open access for this version. For instructions, refer to Requesting Open Access for an Investigation.
