How do I customize my archive and archive information after creation?

(Video in preparation)

Once your archive has been created, you can change various settings for your archive (if you have activated the editorial view) under the menu item Archive configuration on the right-hand side:

• Under 'Edit archive information', you can specify the basic information about your archive for all language versions available in the system.
• Under 'Configure Archive', you can specify various basic settings for your archive, such as the available languages, the accessibility of the interviews, or a contact email address.
• Under 'Edit Display Options', you can change the appearance of your archive (colors, logo, etc.).

If you want to change a setting in your archive that you cannot find here, please contact an OHD employee by email or phone.
