Curator’s guide

When you are logged in as a curator or an admin to the standard user interface, you should see a tab that links to the curator interface at the top-right of the page.

Please note that links displayed within the curation interface will vary depending on database contents and the permissions of the curator. Some infrequently used links are usually hidden by default. These can be enabled by clicking the ‘All functions’ toggle switch. The admin section has feature- specific toggles as well as a ‘Show all’ toggle.
