How to Edit Article Metadata
Edit an article's metadata using the edit button at the top of the article inspector.
What article fields are editable?
All of the standard fields articles display are editable, including citations and references.
While it is possible to edit an article's references and citations, please note that these edits will not affect how Litmaps calculates recommendations. Litmaps calculations will run using the original article's references and citations.
Tip: Look out for the red asterisk (*) to remember which fields have been edited.
Reverting Edits
You can roll back all of your edits to the original Litmaps version using the "Revert" button. Note that this button will only appear once you've saved metadata edits.
Who can see article edits?
Article metadata edits are only visible within the Workspace they were made. This normally means they'll only be visible to you, but if you're working in a Litmaps Team they will be visible to other team members who can view the Workspace.
Why are my edits not showing in some places?
When you edit an article's metadata, Litmaps is actually creating a copy of the article, and this copy is swapped into your maps and/or tags instead of the unedited article.
Most of the time this behaves as expected, but there are some places where you'll see the original Litmaps version of the article instead of your edited version:
Within keyword search result lists
Within Explore result lists
