Editing your protocol entry

{: .fs-9 }

---

If you are using the protocols datbase to track changes made to your protocol while pilotting, you can amend the entry and create different version which can be reviewed at any point.

1. Go to my protocols and find the entry you would like to update.
2. Select whether you are adding a new sequence pdf (Update with new protocol file) or making a change to other parts of the entry only (Update keeping existing protocol file)
3. Identify whether you are making a minor amendment to descriptive text, incrementing the "edit" number only, or a more substantial update, incrementing the "version" number.
4. Make the required changes.
5. We recommend adding a "Change Log" section to the Description field, to record what changes were made and why.
6. Save your edits using the save button at the bottom of the page.
7. You can review your edits by clicking on full history on any protocol entry.

Transferring ownership

If you are unable to log in with an SSO (your Oxford account has expired), you will need to transfer ownership of your protocol to someone else (potentially the Principal Investigator on the project). To arrange this, please contact admin@win.ox.ac.uk and request that the entry is transferred.
