Additional signed-off plans are placed in the same preserve_pp_docs directory with the signed-off plan ID as the sub-folder holding all of the plan’s documents.Once the preservation plan information has been exported to the preserve_pp_docs directory, it can be deposited into Rosetta using the Submission Job, which reads the exported information in its current structure, transforms it to a valid Rosetta METS file, and uploads it. For more details regarding the Submission Job, see the Rosetta Staff User’s Guide. - Click Save. The List of Signed-Off Plans page opens.
