Each MorphoBank project is issued a unique identifier beginning with the letter 'P' for project. You will see this identifier displayed in many places throughout MorphoBank while editing your project. For example, your project number appears next to your project title in the My Projects project list and on the project overview page. Once your project is published you may link to your project with a URL in the format

http://morphobank.org/permalink/?P44

where 'P44' is replaced with your project identifer. Yes, the question mark should precede your number in your permalink, so it would look like this for another project: http://morphobank.org/permalink/?P660. For unpublished projects, the only way to access data is by logging into MorphoBank projects to which you belong.

Folios are published when the project is published, unless the folio's status dropdown is set to 'never publish to project', and may be linked to using a URL in the format:

http://morphobank.org/permalink/?F20

where 'F20' is your folio identifier. Folio identifiers always begin with the letter 'F' and appear next to the folio name in the project folios tab. Your project must be published for folios to be accessible to the public.

Your archive must contain files in MorphoBank's accepted media formats. (For detailed information on what media file formats listed on this page under 'What media file formats are accepted?'). Other formats will be ignored. You may group files in nested folders - they need not be in a single folder.

Your archive must be no greater than 2000 MB in size. Archives exceeding this size will not process (please just break them down).

What are Folios?

Folios are groupings of selected project media. First create a new Foilio, then you may select specific media to add to your folios by clicking the "Edit folio media" link in your list of folios or by using the "Folio options" tool on the Media page. This tool allows you to add multiple media to a folio directly from media search results. Once you have added items to your folio you can return to the folios tab to change the order of the media and preview the resulting folio.

Folios are published when the project is published, unless the folio's status dropdown is set to "never publish to project", and may be linked to using a URL in the format:

http://morphobank.org/permalink/?F20

where 'F20' is your folio identifier (and yes, the “?” is always a part of the permalink). Folio identifiers always begin with the letter 'F' and appear next to the folio name in the project folios tab. Your project must be published for folios to be accessible to the public.

Using the project Folios tab, you can create as many named folios as you need.
