Josh noted that this needs to be updated into the guide as it is not mentioned as of now.

How to update this?
We will need to update the screenshot and include wording for the “Keep Settings” option as well.

Below is an updated screenshot showing the current iteration.

Below is a rough take of the wording for the "Keep Settings" option.

"Note than when you clear the browser cache through the built-in settings options in mdEditor, you also have the option to keep your local settings as well. Note in the screenshot, the option to “Keep Settings” is checked by default. This ensures that you will not lose your local settings unless you actively uncheck that box prior to using the cache clear button."

I think that the paragraph above is direct, yet might be lacking in some details. What settings, in particular, would be worthy to note in this section. Are any exempt at all, and does this affect loaded profiles as well?

Add new guidance describing the mdEditor dynamic thesauri feature (adiwg/mdEditor#546):

[ ] Information on how to specify custom thesaurus configuration file
[ ] Description of thesaurus configuration file syntax
[ ] Description of individual vocabulary file syntax
[ ] Expand description of the process for harvesting and parsing vocabularies presented in the mdKeywords repository

I was advised that the following section will need to be updated to reflect the panel requirements. Notably, the "Name" attribute does not show up as a required entry.
You can see how it appears in the current mdEditor guide here.

Below is an updated screenshot showing the required fields with the exclamation marks next to them.

For the wording under the screenshot on the page, it may be a good idea to include notes that the attributes are required. See the example below:

• Code Name {type: string; max length: none; default: empty; Required Field: Yes}
Usage: The code name of the Attribute used in the dictionary schema.

• Data Type {type: codelist (ADIwg codes); extensible: YES; multi-value: NO; default: empty; Required Field: Yes}Usage: The data type for this attribute (e.g. character, integer, real).

• Definition {type: string; max length: none; default: empty; Required Field: Yes}
Usage: A short narrative definition of the attribute.

Are there other suggestions on this?

From previous discussions on this, an update to the screenshots seems to be needed here.

At this location, the screenshot would have to be updated.

Here is an updated screenshot showing "Name" changed to "Attribute Name" under the "Attributes" section.

Also noted, this screenshot would have to be updated at this location in the guide as well.

Please advise if there are any missed sections on this issue.

The Import Extent section should note that any spatial files to be imported must use the EPSG:4326 (WGS 84, World Geodetic System 1984) spatial reference system. For reference, see the GeoJSON spec: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-4

https://github.com/adiwg/mdEditor-doc/blob/master/reference/edit-window/metadata/extent-panels/features-import.md

This issue has a few components to address.

Taking a look at the following section of the guide first.

When looking at the left-hand navigation options for the guide, you will see the following structure.

Currently, there is an Online Transfer option that is not listed in that set above. It should go above the Offline Transfer option.

• Distribution Section
  • Distribution Edit Window
  • Distributor Edit Window
    • Transfer Option
      • Online Transfer
      • Offline Transfer
      • Distribution Format
• Order Process

As for the Online Transfer section, Here is the screenshot as it appears in the guide currently:

Here is how it appears in the current mdEditor version:

I noticed that there are two parts that are different, those at the end.
• Application Profile
• Protocol Request

These would need to be added to the Online Transfer page with relevant information.

Application Profile seems to just be the name of the API itself being used.
Protocol Request seems in turn to just be the request time being made to the API, (POST, GET, PUT, or possibly even DELETE).

Please provide any input you may have on this topic.

The Import ITIS page is listed in the index as "Importing ISIS Classifications". It should be listed as "Importing ITIS Classifications"

gitbook-cli is deprecated. Move to https://github.com/honkit/honkit, which continues support and development.

• Updates to timePeriod: adiwg/mdEditor#223, adiwg/mdEditor#139
• New date settings: adiwg/mdEditor#139
• FGDC CSDGM import: adiwg/mdEditor#223

Allow users to access API's for external vocabularies through a user configuration stored in the settings.

• Access to ScienceBase thesaurus API
• Allow profile to specify thesaurus mapping
• Support hierarchical taxonomies as collapsible list (e.g. GCMD)

Provide instructions to help users understand the local time zone offset with UTC time. For instance, year, month, day entry for Alaska will result in a 08:00 time added to the date to resolve time to UTC, assuming a midnight local time (-08:00). This offset will not appear in mdEditor if the user is looking at the data in the same time zone it was entered. However, it is written with the time offset in mdJSON.

When a date time is viewed by a user in a different time zone than the data was set to, mdEditor will resolve the date time appearance to the local user's time, while mdJSON content will remain unchanged in the original time zone UTC offset. However, if that user edits the date time, it will be adjusted to that user's current UTC offset. Not sure how this can be mitigated, if undesirable. Some further investigation is needed, for instance if a time is provided, will this be the assumed UTC? If so, then it is incumbent on the user to adjust local time to UTC time.

Add new guidance describing the ability to add custom vocabularies to profile definition files. See: adiwg/mdEditor#566 and dynamic profiles (mdEditor PR adiwg/mdEditor#564)

[ ] Description of profiles list configuration file syntax (profile manifest file?)
[ ] Description of profile definition file vocabularies: section (including how the ID's are resolved)
[ ] Information about new custom profiles

In the current mdEditor guide, the word "Content" appears in the following location.

You can see it here:

In the current version of the editor, it is not showing. See image below:

Will updating the screenshot in this area be sufficient in clearing this matter or is there any other area where it may need to be corrected?

As advised, the "Fast-Scrolling" section of the guide includes wording for the highlights in the sidebar. As this feature is no longer in the current program, it needs to be updated.

The guide uses an orange circle when describing the "Record Has Error(s)" icon. The current version of the editor uses an orange triangle. See: https://guide.mdeditor.org/tutorial/editor-window-parts/edit-window/edit-window-icons.html#record-has-errors

Add new guidance describing the use of a profile configuration file to load multiple profiles. See: adiwg/mdEditor#550 and dynamic profiles (mdEditor PR adiwg/mdEditor#564)

[ ] Description of profiles list configuration file syntax (profile manifest file?)
[ ] Description of profile configuration file syntax - (new vocabularies section)
[ ] Information about new custom profiles
[ ] Information about thesauri being filtered based on the profile selected
[ ] Screenshot of mdEditor settings screen showing custom manifest file field

We need to add a notice to the Extend Import Features page detailing the need for GeoJSON files to adhere to the WGS84 standards.

The previous discussion on this topic suggested getting a new screenshot.

I noted that in the guide, I do see where the “Back to Overview” button is still showing.
It can be found here.

Here is an updated screenshot sans the "Back" button.

Also, looking at this location in the guide, there is wording that needs to be removed/changed.

The paragraph in questions reads as such:

"There is a “Back to Overview” button in the Secondary Sidebar that will open a view with all of the Dictionary's information displayed. This may be helpful in determining if you have selected the intended dictionary for editing, or if you just wish to review the information entered."

Is removing this section and updating the screenshot enough for this part, or does it need more? Perhaps any form of wordage for upcoming changes or something along those lines?

The "General Settings" details need to be updated. This section can be found here in the mdEditor user guide.

It currently appears like this in the guide:

This is how it appears in the current interaction of mdEditor:

Proper wording needs to be added to include the new options of Copy/Delete in edit mode.

Here is a rough concept of how that might look.

Please provide any suggestions that might improve this.

From previous discussion, this section seems to need a screenshot update.

Noted from the initial comment from another issue:

"The initial comment on this issue stated “Rename the "Name" element on the "Attributes" array panel on the "Entity" edit window to "Code Name". "

The page in the mdEditor this refers to is located here.

Noted that the "Back to Overview" button is also showing on this page's screenshot.

I took the following screenshots to replace what was currently on the page.

Will these be acceptable in replacing the current images? (Annotations will be of course be added to the first screenshot to be in line with the guide).
