The Digital Situation Report can be updated at any time and piece by piece. Therefore, you do not have to wait for an entire document (i.e. Bulletin or Situation Report) to be complete before posting. Please adhere to your office’s clearance and approval workflow before publishing content.

When updating your Digital Situation report, do not duplicate the report and do not create a new situation report entry. Instead, update content from your current report. |

Editor Tab
The Editor tab is where you can make edits to your Digital Situation Report.
References Tab
The References tab provides an overview of all the content in your Digital Situation Report and their statuses. If your DSR has numerous pieces of content with images, the Reference tab is a good way to confirm all your content pieces are set to Published. Items set as Draft will result in a validation error message.
You can also bulk publish content items in this tab by using the Select dropdown or clicking on the boxes on the left.
