FAQs

Can I change community once my record is shared?
  • No, to avoid issues with sharing a record with a wrong community, you cannot change the community yourself once you shared the record.
    If you need to change the community, please contact the administrators at big-map-archive@materialscloud.org.

How can I give access to a colleague to edit my record?
  • Follow the instructions in the help section. Click the "Share links" button and create a link with access "Can edit".
    Copy the link and send it to your colleague.

  • Note that only people who already have an account on the BIG-MAP Archive and are members of the community in which the record is published can use the link.
How can I give access to a colleague, or paper reviewer, to view (read-only) my record?
  • Follow the instructions in the help section. Click the "Share links" button and create a link with access "Can view" (for published records) or “Can preview” (for drafts).
    Copy the link and send it to your colleague.

  • Note that anyone with the link will be able to view the record, even if they do not have a BIG-MAP Archive account.
