Edit a Resource in the Admin Platform
Learn how to update a resource in the Admin Platform, including resource name, file replacement, downloadable settings, categories, and instructor access permissions.
This guide explains how to edit an existing resource in the Admin Platform.
Use it when you want to:
- change a resource name
- replace the current file
- update whether the file can be downloaded
- change categories
- control which instructors can access the resource
Open The Resource Editor
You can open the resource editor in two common ways:
- Go to Management > Resources and use the row action menu.
- Open a resource detail page and choose Edit.
OpenMirai then opens the resource edit page.
Understand The Edit Page
The resource edit page includes:
- a back button
- a section list for easier navigation
- a save bar
- an About section
- an Access section
Use this page when you want to update both the file information and the sharing rules in one place.
Use The Save Bar
The save bar appears when you make changes.
Use it to save your updates after reviewing the page.
After saving, OpenMirai returns you to the resource detail page.
Update The Resource Name
In the About section, use the Resource name field to change the title shown for the file.
Use a clear name so admins and instructors can identify the resource more easily later.
Replace The Current File
Use the File field when you want to upload a new file to replace the current one.
This is useful when:
- the current file is outdated
- you need to upload a corrected version
- you want to change the resource type or content
The file picker shows that the new file will replace the current one.
Review The Current Video Before Replacing It
If the existing resource is a video, OpenMirai can show the current video above the file picker.
Use this preview to confirm that you are editing the correct resource before uploading a replacement.
Understand The Downloadable Setting
The Downloadable switch controls whether users can download the resource file.
Use it when you want to allow or prevent file downloads.
Important detail:
- if the selected file is a video, the Downloadable switch is disabled
This helps prevent a setting that is not available for video resources.
Update Categories
Use the Categories field to change how the resource is grouped in your library.
This is useful when:
- the resource belongs to a different topic
- your category structure has changed
- you want to make the file easier to find later
Use The Access Section
The Access section controls who can use the resource.
You can choose one of these access types:
- Public
- Selected
- Private
Use this section carefully because it changes who can work with the resource.
Choose Public Access
Use Public when all instructors should be able to access the resource.
Choose this option for materials that should be broadly available across your organization.
Choose Private Access
Use Private when instructors should not be able to access the resource.
Choose this when the file should stay available only to admins.
Choose Selected Access
Use Selected when only certain instructors should be able to access the resource.
When you choose this option, OpenMirai shows additional tools for selecting instructors.
Add Instructors For Selected Access
When Selected access is active, use Add instructor to open the instructor selection dialog.
Inside the dialog, OpenMirai lets you:
- search for instructors
- review the instructor list
- select one or more instructors
- add the selected instructors to the resource
Use this when you want to share the resource with a limited group instead of the whole organization.
Review Selected Instructors
After adding instructors, OpenMirai shows them in a list on the edit page.
Use this list to confirm that the right people currently have access to the resource.
Remove An Instructor From Access
Each selected instructor includes a Remove action.
Use it when one person should no longer be able to access the resource.
This is useful when:
- access was added by mistake
- responsibilities changed
- the resource should be limited to a smaller group
Use The Section Navigation
The section list on the page helps you move between:
- About
- Access
Use it when the page is longer or when you want to jump directly to the part you need to update.
If The Page Is Still Loading
When the edit page first opens, OpenMirai can show loading placeholders while it retrieves:
- the current resource details
- the existing categories
- the current instructor access list
Wait until the current values appear before replacing the file or changing access.
If A Field Needs Attention
If required information is missing or invalid, OpenMirai shows validation feedback in the affected field.
Common examples include:
- missing resource name
- missing file information
- missing categories
- selected access without the required instructor setup
Review the highlighted field, correct it, and save again.
