How do I revise information about a Drop Box or an item in a Drop Box?

Note: To complete these procedures, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.

Follow these steps to revise information about a Drop Box or a folder or item in a Drop Box:

  1. In the menubar, click Drop Box.

  2. Click Revise next to the Drop Box, folder, or item whose information you wish to change. If you cannot see the item you want to modify, click the black triangles to the left of "Title" to expand the contents of all the folders. Or, click the folder icon next to the folder you wish to expand. (If a folder contains any items not currently being displayed there will be a plus sign on the folder icon.)

  3. If you are modifying a Drop Box, you can change the "Description" field. If you are modifying a folder, you can modify the "Title" and "Description" fields. If you are changing the information for an item, the fields you can revise will depend on the item type:

    • Uploaded files: You can click Browse... to find and select a replacement file. You may also edit the "Title" and "Description" fields, modify copyright status, choose whether or not to display the copyright alert, and change the file type.

    • URL: You may edit the "Title" and "Description" fields, and enter a replacement URL.

    • HTML or text document: From the "Content:" drop-down list, choose Revise document contents below, and then type your revisions in the provided text box, or choose Replace with document from my computer to choose a replacement file (see "Uploaded files" above). You may also edit the "Title" and "Description" fields, modify copyright status, choose whether or not to display the copyright alert, and change the file type.

  4. Click Update to save the changes.
