This release adds functionalities to import, manipulate and export the metadata of Dataverses, Datasets and Datafiles.

She went on for several travels around the world, where she collected plants, insects, mollusks, marine life and mineral specimens and brought most of them back home to the Natural History Museum of Vienna.

The most important contribution you can make right now is to use the module. It would be great, if you install it, run some code on your PC and access your own Dataverse instance if possible - and give feedback after it (contact).

Another way is, to share this release with others, who could be interested (e. g. retweet my Tweet, or send an Email).
