Edit a file on a request

Info

Files can only be added, updated or withdrawn when the request is in the Pending or Returned status. See the documentation on workflow and permissions for further information.

Update a file🔗

If a workspace file has changed after it has been added to a request, it will be displayed in the workspace view. In the file browser tree, changed files are indicated with the colour and icon below:

Change file icon

The directory that contains the changed file will also indicate in the "Review State" metadata that it has been updated.

Changed file directory view

To update a file, navigate to the workspace. Files can be updated from the file view or the directory view. Note that the updated file has changed colour in this tree view as it is now the selected file.

Changed file view

Use the "Update file(s)" button to update the file with the new content. Note that in the dialogue that opens, there is no option to change the file group or file type.

Withdraw a file🔗

To withdraw a file, navigate to view the file within the release request, and use "Withdraw from Request".

If the request is in Pending status, the file is removed from the request entirely.

If the request is in Returned status, the file will still be visible on the request, but marked as withdrawn.

Withdrawn file

In either case, the file can be re-added from the workspace view,.

Change a file type🔗

In order to change a file type (e.g. change a file initially added as an output file to a supporting file), first withdraw the file from the request and then add it again with the new file type.

Move a file to a different group🔗

In order to move a file to a different file group, first withdraw the file from the request and then add it again with the new file group.
