2.3  Contribution Types

2.3.1  Reloading a Previous Contribution

The Reload Previous Contribution form allows you to select one of your existing contributions to either update, or use as a template for a new contribution, depending on the selection made in the Contribution Wizard Introduction form.

A list of your existing contributions is given, with the most recently updated or created first. Contributions are grouped five per page, so if you have made more than five contributions, you will need to use the page navigation links at the bottom of the form to locate the desired contribution.

Each contribution is listed with the title and status in bold. A status of Completed indicates that you completed the entire process for that contribution, and it is currently available for users to view in search results. In Progress indicates that some steps in the process have not yet been completed for that contribution, so in order for users to view it, it must be completed. Updated indicates that the contribution was completed at some point, and that you have subsequently updated some of its data.

Other information is provided to help you differentiate your contributions. The date on which the contribution was last updated or completed is listed, along with the file name and type(s) associated with the contribution.
