Recalculate Checksum Attribute Values

The Recalculate feature enables you to recalculate checksums for any number of leafs as required, as well as for the entire sequence, when changes have been made to the submission metadata and/or for verification purposes. You have the option of saving the index-md5 checksum file to an alternative location from within the application. Changes can therefore be made and checksums updated from within Validator.

To recalculate the checksum attribute values of a submission in an XML instance:

1. Click the Recalculate option in the toolbar. A message appears, indicating that the recalculating process takes a few minutes to complete.
2. Click Yes.
3. In the confirmation message, click OK.
4. To recalculate the checksum attribute value of a document, in the TOC, right-click on the document and select Calculate Checksum.The new checksum will be updated in the Properties window.
