Saving and Downloading Files

Downloading Files

Individual Downloads

There are a few ways you can choose to download a single file:

From the List View search results Click the file type button to the right of the title for the file you would like to download.	Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Download Queue for Multiple Files

Your Download Queue is a temporary list of files that can be downloaded as a compressed .zip file. Files added to your Download Queue will remain in the queue until you sign out or close your browser. If you want to save a file and come back to it later, add it to a Set, which is a permanent list you can maintain over time.

Files can be added to your Download Queue in the same way files can be downloaded individually. Click the download icon to the right of any file type to add it to your Download Queue:

When you are ready to download all the files in your Download Queue, click the Download Queue button in the user drop-down menu:

From the Download Queue page you can:

• remove files from your Queue
• clear your Queue
• download all the files in the Queue

Click “Download” to generate and download the .zip file of all your Download Queue files (if your Queue is large, this may take some time).

Your Download Queue is session specific and is not intended to be a permanent list of files. Signing out of the DRS will permanently empty your queue. Use Sets to save files in a persistent list.

Saving Files in Sets

Sets are curated compilations of DRS files. You may create as many Sets as you need, and you may add any DRS file to your Sets. Sets are sustainable and won't disappear unless you delete the Set yourself. Sets are tied to your DRS user account, so you must sign in to add a file to a set, or to create, view, and manage your Sets.

Your Sets page is accessible from your user drop-down menu in the top right of any page:

From your Sets page you can:

• create a new set
• edit an existing set
• delete an existing set
• remove files from a set
• download a set

You can add files directly to a Set by clicking the briefcase icon next to the download options for any file. You may also create a new set from the search results page. Simply click the briefcase icon for the file you would like to add to a Set and click “Create New Set”:
