  1. "Select Collection" step: If not already selected, the user must select a collection to deposit the Item into.
  2. "Describe" step:  This is where the user may enter descriptive metadata about the Item. This step may consist of one or more pages of metadata entry. By default, there are two pages of metadata-entry. For information on modifying the metadata entry pages, please see Custom Metadata-entry Pages for Submission section below.
  3. "Upload" step: This is where the user may upload one or more files to associate with the Item.  For more information on file upload, also see Configuring the File Upload step below.
  4. "Review" step: This is where the user may review all previous information entered, and correct anything as needed.
  5. "License" step: This is where the user must agree to the repository distribution license in order to complete the deposit.  This repository distribution license is defined in the [dspace]/config/default.license file. It can also be customized per-collection from the Collection Admin UI.
  6. "Complete" step: The deposit is now completed. The Item will either become immediately available or undergo a workflow approval process (depending on the Collection policies).  For more information on the workflow approval process see: Configurable Workflow.

 To modify or reorganize these submission steps, just modify the [dspace]/config/item-submission.xml file. Please see the section below on Reordering/Removing/Adding Submission Steps.

titleDSpace 4.0 has removed the "Initial Questions" step by default

Prior to DSpace 4.0, the "Initial Questions" step preceded all "Describe" steps. However, it was removed by default in DSpace 4.0.

You may still choose to re-enable the "Initial Questions" step, as needed. However, please note the warning below about the auto-assigning of Dates in the "Initial Questions" step.
