Releasing Profiles (Studies)

Hint

Profiles [1] (in COPO) are referred to as projects or studies (in ENA [2] ).

Note

The ability to make a profile public is only available after reads have been submitted.

By default, after reads have been submitted, the project is private and the release date is set to two years from the submission date. However, the project can be made public at any time before the release date by following the steps below.

Thus, the Release Study profile option button, release-profile-button, should be clicked after reads have been submitted.
