An erratum can have a variety of different states:
- Submitted - Initial state upon creation by a website user or the publisher
- Accepted - Publisher researches submission and determines that it is valid
- Refused - Publisher researches submission and determines that it is not valid
- Fixed - Publisher implements the correction in the book's layout file (e.g. InDesign/Quark)
- Published - The book is reprinted with the correction
To change the state of an erratum, follow the process below:
-
Go to errata list page. One method to get there is by clicking the Errata link in the Content menu.
-
Select the appropriate erratum. Notice that the Status in this example is currently set to Accepted.
-
Click a new status, for example Published. Confirming the change, the new status will no longer be an active link. Also, a new line will be entered in the status list along with the time at which the status was changed.
