Graphic guide to updating authorities

On the Authorities tab we find the authority record we want to update, mark it and then expand the Other actions button. In the button's menu we select the Refresh option and then Selected items.

The data from our authority record is transferred to the search and the records available on the Z-servers are displayed. We select a suitable authority with which we want to update ours and click the Rewrite button.

A form with the new authority record then opens, where we can check or edit the new data on the individual tabs. If we are satisfied with the authority, we complete the update by clicking the Save and close button. Our authority is thereby completely overwritten by the selected record from the Z-server. Only the regional information in the lettered fields is preserved.
