I can’t edit an item I have uploaded, what’s wrong?
There are likely two reasons that this occurred:
- The server where your item is located might temporarily be in a read-only state. Often it is quickly resolved and back to a read/write state in a day or less.
A way to confirm this is to replace details in the URL with history. You will be able to view the state of the file.
- You changed your account’s email address. If this is the case, please contact us at info@archive.org. Include your old email and your new email so that we can move the old items to your current email address.
