can cbioportal have a study be *updated* (as oppsed to removed, then re-added with a modified study)

Question

[esalinas]

I'm new to cbioportal. I've recently "stood up" my own cbioportal server and have successfully imported a test dataset.

I'm about to start exploring adding my own datasets!

As far as I can tell, based on some googling and documentation review, cbioportal can only add or remove studies, but it cannot update them. In order to update a study, does anybody know if it is necessary to first remove it and then add it back, but with updates applied?

You should send them an email and check with them.

Okay @Ram , I did so and they confirmed that no "update" process exist, but rather a "remove" then "add" (which has the same effect with updates applied to the added data) is required.
