Restore the dataset to Approved state

To publish an internal dataset publicly, you'll first need to restore it to its Approved state. You must be a Metadata Approver, a Catalogue Manager, or have the permission to approve datasets. Check your permissions.

  1. Go to the Internal Only tab in the datasets panel.

  2. Select View on the dataset record you want to move to public publication.

  3. Review the dataset details found in the different tabs: Dataset, Distributions, Data Dictionary, Relations, Attributions, and Comments to ensure it's ready for public release.

  4. Select Approve for Publishing. The comment field appears.
