Up until recently, the side menu in DSpace 7.4 had options for importing and exporting -- you can see them in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjH8VS2WDjE

As of this morning, those options have disappeared -- though it looks like it's still possible to achieve the same functionality by starting with the process menu.

Is this a deliberate change? I haven't seen it mentioned as upcoming.

Hi Paige,

Those import/export options still exist in DSpace 7.4.  However, they are obviously only available when you login as an Administrator.

If you are not seeing those options, I'm guessing maybe an error is occurring which is blocking them?  Try to follow our Troubleshooting guide to see if you can find any errors in your browser's devtools or the backend logs. https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove)

I just searched our tickets in case there's a reported bug here, and I also came across this one related to Shibboleth authentication. https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1953   I just pulled it over to our 7.5 board in the hopes I can find a volunteer to fix it for that release.

Hi, Tim--

Yeah, I'm an Administrator, and was logging into the test site as an Administrator as well. We *are* using Shibboleth, and indeed, the options do appear if I reload the page, so I think this is likely the same bug.

Thanks!
Paige
