OSIRIS Tip of the Week

Important Tips for Responding to a Reviewer's Comments

If you need to edit a document, do not delete the version that is currently in OSIRIS. Instead use the following steps:

1) Save the document to your computer

2) Modify the document on your computer making sure to save it when done

3) Upload the document into OSIRIS using the "[Edit]" link next to the name of the corresponding document in OSIRIS

4) Click on the "Save" link located on the top and the bottom of the web page

Please be aware that your changes might not be saved if you use the "Back" button on the smartform. The same applies to the "Back" button on your web browser. If you intend to save your changes, you must click on the "Save" link before using the "Back" button.

Also, please be aware that if you use the "Next" and "Previous" buttons in the smartform reviewer notes without first clicking the "Save" link, your changes may be lost.
