Editing and Re-publishing a Published Summary

  1. Click the “View Classification Summary” button in the GCI:

  1. Click the "Edit Published Summary" button:

  1. Make select edits in the "Edit Published Summary" selection panel that opens after clicking the "Edit Published Summary" button:

Fields that can be edited are in white:

  • Approval Review Date

  • Secondary Approver

  • Evidence Summary (click on the pencil icon to edit evidence summary text)

Fields cannot be edited are greyed out:

  • Date Initially Published

  • Curation Reason (admin updates are only permissible curation reason)

  • Publish Submitter name (this auto-updates upon saving)

Note: Users must check the confirmation box in order to save and re-publish their edits to the ClinGen website.

Clicking the Save & Republish button saves and re-publishes the summary and closes the modal and returns the user to the prior page, now updated:

  1. After clicking the Save & Republish button, the Approved Section retains the following:

  • Name of the original submitter who entered the classification

  • Original date saved as approved

After clicking the Save & Republish button, the Published Section shows the following:

  • Name of the person who edited the published summary

  • The date/time of their edits were saved and republished

  • If more than one edit has been made in the history of the record, the name of the most recent editor is displayed

  • The curation reason will always be Administrative Update: Error and/or Clarification

5. To view all prior edits:

  • Click on the "View Published Edits History" link

  • This will take you to a new tab with a side by side comparison of the current Published Summary and its previous version.

The new tab that opens after clicking the View Published Edits History link includes a before/after comparison of the Published Summary. Before fields (left) are in grey, after fields (right) are in blue. History is sorted in reverse order, with most recent edits at the top of the tab. Any text that was removed from the prior evidence summary is highlighted in red on the before side of the Published Summary. Any text added to the re-published evidence summary is highlighted in green on the after side of the Published Summary.

Note: before and after contents of other fields in Published Summary are not highlighted, but are viewable (contributor, approver, etc)

In the event that text gets replaced between publish events, both before and after evidence summaries will highlight the impacted text (e.g., punctuation, capitalization or word changes).

This before/after view is available for every edit made to the Published Summary.

Changes to the published summary will result in minor incremental version changes to the curation record, and will be published to the website.
