1 | 1 | # Published records |
2 | 2 |
|
| 3 | +Published records are finalized records made available in the repository. Once a record is published, it becomes accessible to other users. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +!!! note |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | + A *published record* is not necessarily a *public record*. |
| 8 | + Publishing a record means the record is no longer a draft (a temporary working version) but a finalized record registered in the system. |
| 9 | + Whether the record is publicly accessible depends on its restriction settings. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +A published record contains finalized metadata and associated files. It also displays additional information such as: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +- usage statistics |
| 14 | +- versions |
| 15 | +- communities |
| 16 | +- citation details |
| 17 | + |

|
| 20 | +To see all your records, go to **My Dashboard**. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +The **My Dashboard** page shows all records you have created or contributed to, including published records and drafts. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +From this page you can: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +- view your published records |
| 29 | +- access and continue editing draft records |
| 30 | +- monitor the status of your uploads |
| 31 | +- search and filter your records |
| 32 | +- create new uploads |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Each record entry displays key information such as the title, status ('open' or 'restricted'), and the last update date. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Published records are indicated by a green checkmark, while draft records (temporary working versions) are shown with a red upload icon. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +## Records shared with you |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Records can be shared with you by other users, allowing you to view or collaborate on them. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +To access these records, go to **My Dashboard** > **Uploads** and select the **Shared with me** tab. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Shared records may allow different levels of access depending on the permissions granted to you by the record owner. |

| 88 | + |
| 89 | +All versions are linked together, allowing users to navigate between older and newer versions of the same record. |
