# Registration user guide
This is a draft user guide for the Phycobank registration user interface. The guide covers the roles *Curator* and *Submitter*.
Please also read the [[RegistrationFAQ|Phycobank Registration FAQ]].
## Start a new registration
### selecting or creating a new publication record
First: Check, if the publication is already in PhycoBank available. Default is a search by the first author (selected parts of the publication are shown to identify the publication). Clicking "Contains" allows to search for a characteristic part of a publication, such as a scientific name. If the publication is not in PhycoBank available go to "New".
## Registration working set editor
### changing the status of a registration
**Submitter**: The only status available for this role are `PREPARATION` and `CURATION`. As long as the registration with the scientific name and type designations is being edited and modified by the submitter, the registration is in `PREPARATION`. Once the editing process is completed. The submitter will set the status to `CURATION` in order to pass the data set to the curatorial process. The curator is now responsible for further state changes.
**Curator**: For curators all status are available but the selection of the available status is limited to guarantee a directed and clear workflow.
Only states which make sense for the next step in the workflow are allowed.
The possible transitions are:
| Current status | Next allowed status |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| PREPARATION | CURATION |
| CURATION | PREPARATION, READY |
| READY | PUBLISHED, REJECTED |
| PUBLISHED | |
| REJECTED | |
