This page covers single-item submission via the user interface. TDL-hosted DSpace repositories also enable batch ingest of files in SimpleArchiveFormat packages via both the user interface and command line tools. For more about batch ingest, see Batch Import Collection and the LYRASIS wiki.
Overview
Submitters are people who can upload files to collections in DSpace. People must be assigned to the role of Submitter or Collection Administrator in the repository administrative interface before they can submit content. See the section on Workflows - Assigning Rolesfor more details.
Submitting an item to the repository is a multi-step process. At any point in the submission process you can stop and save your work for a later date by clicking on the Save for later button at the bottom of the page. The data you have already entered will be stored until you return to the submission, and you will be reminded on your MyDSpace page that you have a submission in process. If somehow you accidentally exit from the submission process, you can always resume from your MyDSpace page. You can also cancel your submission at any point.
