To edit your work:
- Once you're logged into your Member account in The MLC Portal, locate the work you need to edit in your catalog and click on the work.
- On the next page, click the blue Edit button in the right-hand corner of your screen. When a pop-up message prompts you to confirm you want to edit, select the Edit button.
- Click the white Edit button in the section you need to update.
- You will be taken to the page to edit that section’s information. Update necessary information, then click the blue Next button at the bottom of the page.
- You will be returned to the Work Details page. Here, you can choose to edit another section if needed.
- Once all your updates are complete, click the blue Submit button at the bottom of the page. When a pop-up message prompts you to confirm you would like to submit these edits, click Confirm.
- On the next page, click the blue Done button to be taken to your Registration History page – here you can see the work you submitted with updates has a status of Submitted. You can return to the Registration History page to keep track of the progress of your edited work – once the work is in the Accepted status, it will show in your catalog with the updated information.
NOTE: Once the edits to your work have been accepted, the original work submission will still show in your Registration History; however, its status will now show as Superseded as the edited work has replaced the original work submission.
