Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Contribute system moderated?
At the moment the only way to moderate public contributions is to give feedback at the bottom of a piece of content and then leaving either a positive or negative report.
We are exploring options for moderating publicly contributed content before publishing.
Are there any limitations on the Contribute system?
At present, overlays cannot be added via Contribute.
While images, video, text, and audio can be added to records via Contribute, at present IIIF, Sketchfab, and QR codes can only be added via the admin content management systems.
Who can contribute?
There are different levels of access.
Layers of London is open to anyone with an email address.
DigVentures screens their volunteers and only gives access to their chosen users.
We have Single Sign-On for Microsoft, Google and Apple, and we’re working to expand this feature.
It is possible to restrict access only to users with a specific email domain while keeping public signups open, so that only people in your organisation will be able to sign up.
