Record a file

What you do

Choose the exact file in your browser. The browser calculates the file hash locally and sends only that hash in the normal browser flow. The file itself is not uploaded in this flow.

File types

Any file type can be selected in the normal browser flow, subject to the local helper size limit shown on the page.

Results

If the exact same file hash already exists, the registry can return the existing record as a no-change result. If the hash is new and the write succeeds, a new public record is written and one unit is consumed.

Records cannot be edited or removed. If the file or reference changes later, create a new entry instead of changing the original record.
