Objects showing broken links - filename shows in data file but not when I download the metadata

[Xheri0042]

I've followed the tutorials and remade this repository several times using various methods. While my metadata csv file has a field for "filename" and it matches the object names stored in the object file, I'm still getting broken links. When I download the metadata file from the site, the filename field is missing. Also - the YouTube video that is linked doesn't play.....what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Hi Xheri0042, You aren't adding extensions to the filenames in your metadata sheet, and you can't use a / in your objectids. And the youtubeid field just needs the id, not the whole link. Also, any item that doesn't have a format won't show up as a page, so be sure to add format to each item in your spreadsheet! Here's a better CSV attached. Replace yours with this one. The items with files and youtubeids will show up, and I've made every format that wasn't there a image/jpg format. If you end up using pdfs, make sure to change the format for the item to application/pdf. Cheers, and good luck! Devin p.s. Will you send us a screenshot or the link that doesn't work to the youtube video you referenced?
