How do I edit a recipe?

You can edit the content of a recipe, i.e. add or remove themes / feature types, or change attribute filtering or data schema versions. However, you can't edit a recipe if it has data packages linked to it that receive change-only updates (COUs) – please see the warning note below for instructions on how to solve this issue and create a copy of a recipe.

To edit a recipe that doesn't have data packages linked to it that receive COUs:

1

Log into your OS Data Hub account

Click Log in on the Data Hub menu bar to log into your account.

Recipes with data packages linked to them that receive COUs

You can't edit a recipe if it has data packages linked to it that receive change-only updates (COUs). To get round this issue, you'll need to create a copy of the recipe and then edit that copy.

To create a copy of a recipe:

  • Log in to your OS Data Hub account.

  • Select Data from the main menu.

  • Choose Downloads > OS Select+Build Recipe Library from the secondary navigation menu.

  • From your list of recipes, click on the name of the recipe you wish to edit, then click on the Recipe actions dropdown and select Edit recipe.

  • When the 'Recipe cannot be edited' warning pop up appears, click the Copy recipe button.

  • Choose a suitable name for your copied recipe, then click Create recipe.

The copied recipe will appear in your OS Select+Build Recipe Library and you can now edit it following the 'How do I edit a recipe?' steps outlined above.
