- Open the CSV file. The file will contain all of the CTDL data elements you’ve published to the Registry (identified in row 1). To change the “Credential Type” value of a credential, find the column with that heading. Type in your changes. For a list of acceptable Credential Types and definitions, refer see Section 3.2.1 Credential Types (https://credreg.net/ctdl/handbook#credentialtypes) in the CTDL Handbook. Please refer to the CTDL Handbook (https://credreg.net/ctdl/handbook) for additional information on CTDL terms. Update the existing credentials and/or add new credentials.

- Click the “Preview” button to display the CSV file. Review the CSV file in the preview window provided. When ready, select the “Save this data to the Publisher” button. Based on the amount of data in your file, a time estimate is provided for how long the data file will take to upload
- Once the upload is complete, the final step is to approve your data to be published. From the navigation bar at the top of the page, click on the dropdown menu labeled ‘Summary and Downloads.’ From there, select ‘Organization Summary and Downloads’ to be directed to your Organization Summary Page.
