Uploading Content
There are two ways to contribute and upload content into the DBL:
- Content in all formats (text, audio, video) may be uploaded directly in DBL—available now.
- Content in text format may be uploaded through Paratext.
Prepare to Upload Content
The process of uploading content into DBL requires a significant amount of metadata and files, so preparation is essential. Only Content managers in a Contributor organization are allowed to add content into DBL.
To begin, click on the ‘+ New’ button at the top of the DBL dashboard. Then click on the Upload Content menu item.
The first page provides an overview for how to get ready to upload:
See the Metadata Guide & Worksheet for detailed lists of specific information & files that are required to add, upload, and publish a content item.
When you’re ready, click the ‘Get started’ button to go to the next step, Choosing a Format.
Contributors may upload content into DBL with its guided process, one part at a time.
Additional documentation is being created to provide more helpful info. (NOTE: Some articles currently online are obsolete & deprecated.)
