  1. Validate your file. Errors underlined in red generally mean there is incorrect XML syntax with your file. Make sure you are checking for the following as you make your editions:
    • An opening tag (ex: <p>) has a matching closing tag (ex: </p>), and vice versa
    • Any misspelled and unknown elements, attributes, or tags
    • All elements are properly nested
    • All attributes are properly enclosed in quotation marks (ex: <name type="person">Eartha M. M. White</name>)
  2. Save your file. As you transcribe, encode, and validate, make sure you are routinely saving your file to avoid loss of data. When you're finished, your completed file in the shared folder will automatically sync to OneDrive. Dr. McCarl and Janaya Ferrer will be able to access the most current version of your file. Conversely, if one of them makes changes to help you solve a problem, those will be synced to your local copy of the file, available in the "OneDrive - University of North Florida" folder. If you want to make backups of the file with different names, do so by placing the backups in that same folder, with the filename stated as “YYYYMMDD backup of…” (where YYYYMMDD is the date of the backup). Always do your editing itself in the original file that has been shared with you.
    If you can't get access to the shared folder, email your file to earthawhiteproject@gmail.com. Once you have emailed your file, you should make no changes to your copy, as it will at that point be obsolete.
