  • Rename Objects — The Content UI now allows you to rename an object and its pseudo path, if any. Renaming a versioned object has the effect of marking the existing object as deleted and creating a new object using the new name. The rename dialog alerts you to this behavior if the object being renamed is versioned. (UIC-293)
    See Editing Names, Metadata, and Versions.

  • Delete Versioned Objects —  The Content UI allows precise control over deleting versioned objects, so the object can be deleted (which can be restored), delete the current version from the history, or delete the object entirely, including the version history. (UIC-301)
    See Editing Names, Metadata, and Versions.

  • Fixed: Deleting an object appeared to succeed despite the user lacking delete permission; refreshing the browser revealed that the object was not deleted. (UIC-317)

  • Known issue:

    • After upgrading the Content UI (Portal) and/or Storage UI, the cache must be cleared to get the new version. Either shift-Reload the page or clear the browser cache, then verify that the About page shows the new version. A logout does not fix it nor is it necessary. (UIC-222)

    • A COPY on an erasure-coded object does not succeed if it requests a Content-MD5. This issue affects the Metadata Editor. (SWAR-7980)

...

  • Metadata Editor —  The Content UI now allows you to edit object metadata directly in the UI. While applications have always been able to edit object metadata, this new interface enables users to correct and extend metadata from the UI. When you select Edit Metadata from the object's detail view, each editable metadata field (such as x-acme-meta-color) appears with writable fields, from where you can change its value (red to blue) or remove it entirely. You can also add new metadata headers and values. (UIC-132)
    See Editing Names, Metadata, and Versions.

  • Delete Object Versions —  The Content UI now supports precise deletions of one or all of the historical versions of a given versioned object. If an object is versioned, you can Delete All to remove the current and all of its historical versions, or you can Delete the selected version to remove the current or any prior versions. (UIC-252)
    See Editing Names, Metadata, and Versions.
