Updating a Resource Collection

Update a resource collection to change its name, description, visibility, or query language.

All updates to a resource collection can be changed again later except any changes to visibility. After you change a resource collection's visibility to let others see and use it by publishing it in a compartment, you can't make it personal again. The only ways to prevent others from seeing a resource collection in a compartment are to change the permissions that provide access to it or delete the resource collection and then re-create it as a personal collection.

Using the Console

  1. In the top navigation bar, click Search for resources, services, documentation, and Marketplace, and then select Advanced resource query.
  2. Under Categories, click Resource collections.
  3. Click the name of the resource collection that you want to update.
  4. Click Edit, and then do one or more of the following:
    • To update the resource collection display name, click Name, and then enter a new friendly name. Avoid entering confidential information.
    • To update the resource collection description, click Description, and then enter a new description. Avoid entering confidential information.
    • To update the resource collection's visibility, under Visibility, click In compartment. You can only update a resource collection's visibility to publish it in a compartment. You can't change a resource collection's visibility to make it personal again.
    • To update the resource collection's search criteria, click either Search and filter or Show advanced query mode, and then change the filters or the query language, as appropriate. For more information about using basic search mode or advanced query mode, see Filtering Resource Search Results, Clearing Resource Search Filters, Changing Resource Search Filters, Running a Custom, Free-Form Query, and Search Language Syntax.
  5. Click Save.
