Step 2: Enter in the Resource ID of the resource you want to change to 'Public'

The resource ID is a unique identifier for every resource on HydroShare. You can find it by clicking on your resource in HydroShare, scrolling down to the “How to Cite” section, and copying the ID from the URL. This is an example hyperlink: https://www.hydroshare.org/resource/08c6e88adaa647cd9bb28e5d619178e0/ from which The 32 letter combination at the end is called the resource ID. The resource ID from the example hyperlink is 08c6e88adaa647cd9bb28e5d619178e0.
