Public Access

Folios are annotated groupings of media and matrices selected from your project. Your project can include as many folios as necessary and each folio can contain any media item or matrix in your project, in any order and with attached notes.

Folios are a useful tool to organize and present your data. Prior to publication of your project, folios are only accessible to project members. After publication all folios become publicly accessible (unless they are explicitly set to not publish) and can be accessed using "PermaLinks". These stable, easy to publish URLs (described in the section called “Public Access”) are suitable for publication in a paper or online.

Creating Folios

To create a folio, click on the Folios tab in the project tool tab bar. You will be presented with a list of existing folios. You may edit the name and description of an existing folio by clicking on its "edit" button. You may remove a folio by click on its "delete" button. To create a new folio click on the "Add new folio" link in the upper-right hand corner of the tab.

When you create a new folio in the Folios tab you are only creating an empty container. To add or remove media or matrices to a folio, you need to use the folio tabs under the matrix and media tools.
