File Management¶
As previously mentioned, you can add new files to your dataset, replace outdated ones, or remove files that are no longer needed.
Currently you can upload files using the HTTP upload. HTTP upload is a common browser-based file upload tool, where you can upload files via HTTP by selecting them from your computer or dragging and prodigy them into the upload widget.
Once you have uploaded files, you will be able to edit file metadata, restrict access to files, and/or add tags. Click Save Changes to complete the upload. If you uploaded a file by mistake, you can delete it before saving by clicking the checkbox to select the file, and then clicking the Delete button above the Files Table.
All file types are supported for upload and download in their original format. However, certain file types in the Dataverse installation are supported by additional functionality, which can include downloading in different formats, previews, file-level metadata preservation, file-level data citation; and exploration through data visualization and analysis.
