Coscine Community
At the request of RDM staff, we have opened a Zenodo Community for Coscine. All documents, presentations, etc. relevant to Coscine are welcome to be uploaded to the community. Service Management will review submissions before adding them.
Folder deletion
It is currently not possible to delete folders. We will add a note to the Coscine documentation as soon as possible. In addition, the development team is already working intensively on a solution.
Subprojects
You may currently see more projects in Coscine than before. This is because subprojects of a deleted main project were no longer displayed but were not deleted in the background. This has now been fixed by the development team, so that subprojects are now displayed as main projects.
Timestamp for the creation date of projects and resources
The next live deployment will bring another new feature: a timestamp for the creation date of the project or resource will be added to the project and resource settings. This will help both Coscine users and the support team to classify problems or malfunctions in terms of time.
Account deletion
Users can now also delete their Coscine account themselves, provided they are not affiliated with a project. Explanations of this new feature can be found in the documentation.
Status message portal
All logged-in Coscine users can now access the status message portal via the “?” tab, where they can view potential fault reports relating to Coscine. This does not replace the banners on the platform that indicate restrictions but serves as an additional supplement with further information.
Access token
At the request of the community, the minimum validity period for Coscine access tokens has been reduced to one day. Previously, it was one week.
Migration Completed
We hope you had a good start to the new year. Exciting developments await us again in 2026 at Coscine. In this newsletter, we report on new features that have been developed in recent weeks. We are also very pleased that the migration from the old to the new storage system has been completed and that more universities have successfully completed onboarding for Coscine.
