Can I edit my entries after publishing?

Yes. You can edit your published entries at any time. The platform keeps a version history so the community can see how the content has evolved.

What types of knowledge can I share?

You can share oral traditions, cultural practices, traditional medicine knowledge, agricultural wisdom, stories, proverbs, crafting techniques, and any other form of indigenous knowledge. Please ensure you have appropriate authority to share any cultural knowledge — see our Cultural Knowledge & Heritage Policy and Community Guidelines.
