Create Deposit Workflows

Create Deposit Workflows

A deposit workflow is a set of instructions outlining what needs to happen for data to be deposited. A deposit workflow can be manual or automated. If you or your team will be regularly adding or updating data files, establishing a deposit workflow will help ensure your data files are described and deposited in a consistent manner.

You can use the Dataverse APIs to automate parts of your workflow, including creating and publishing a dataverse collection or dataset, uploading files, managing permissions, and downloading datasets and metadata. Go to Getting Started with APIs for more information on using the Dataverse APIs.
