Known issues:

Spreadsheet import

Importing metadata through a spreadsheet (and validation of that spreadsheet) will fail if a previous spreadsheet import/validation contained invalid data. Users will see the following message:

This is a known ArchivesSpace bug. Resolution is to run another background job (such as regenerating a pdf for the collection), which will reset the application and allow the import to proceed.

Additional documentation will be added to this page as common issues are identified.
