Islandora allows you to edit the metadata created for an object without having to upload an entirely new metadata datastream. This tutorial will show you how to find and make changes to an object's metadata datastream.

1. Navigate to the object whose metadata needs to be changed and click the 'Manage' tab

This will bring you to the object's management page.

2. Click the 'Datastreams' button

This will bring you to the object's list of datastreams.

3. Click the 'edit' button beside the form you wish to change

(Due to its size, the above screenshot has been turned into a thumbnail. Click on it to zoom in)

This will take you to that datastream's form.

4. If more than one form is associated with the content model being used, select the form you wish to use for this object

If only one form is associated with the content model assigned to this object, a screen will appear asking you to choose which form you would like to use.

5. Make changes to the form

This will vary from form to form and content model to content model. In this case, we are going to add a description to the example object. Complete the changes and click on the 'Submit' button at the bottom.

Changes to the object's metadata are now visible on the object's page.
