Hello all,

If I want to merge two collections (ie. move all materials from collection A to collection B and then delete collection A), how do I do that? There's a recommendation for a previous version of DSpace to just export the metadata, change the collection to of A to B, and reupload... does it actually work like this in DSpace 7.6? I tried it in our QA instance and it didn't function.

Thanks,
Carolyn.

Young, Philip

Carolyn,

It worked fine for me on our 7.6.1 dev server. Export metadata > Find and replace collection numbers > Save > Import. I did have a problem with the collection item count still showing from the browse index, although the collection was empty. No problem deleting the collection.
