description: Registration Schema Blocks are read-only entities, they represent question prompts and form inputs known as
"blocks" that make up a Registration Schemas. Each block has a designated `block_type` that determines what type of information
that Schema Block's corresponding block in the Schema Response.

description: A Registration Schemas defines the range of valid responses to a registration. Each Registration Schema is
composed of <a href="#tag/Registration-Schema-Blocks">"blocks"</a> that define the individual questions a user responds
to. Registration Schemas are created by the Center for Open Science or an affiliated institution and periodically migrated
into the system. Registration Schemas are updated and deactivated using an internal versioning system.

description: "Resources are structured data artifacts associated with a Registration. These can include datasets, analytic\
\ code, materials, papers, or supplementary files that contribute to the outcomes of a study or project. Resources are\
\ part of the registration’s metadata and support reproducibility, data sharing, and transparency in research.\nEach Resource\
\ can have an optional Persistent Identifier (PID) such as a DOI, and can be marked as finalized, indicating it is ready\
\ for public dissemination or archival. Resources are grouped under a Registration and contribute to Open Practice Badges\
\ when relevant artifacts are provided.\nResources are managed through the API endpoints to:\n - **Create** new resources\
\ for a Registration (e.g., data, code, papers)\n - **List** existing resources linked to a Registration\n - **Retrieve**\
\ details about an individual resource\n - **Update** a resource’s description, type, or PID\n - **Finalize** a resource\
\ to prevent further changes (once validated)\n\n**Note**: Once a resource is finalized, it cannot be edited or deleted.\n\
### Resource Types\n - `data`: Raw or processed datasets related to the research\n - `analytic_code`: Code or scripts\
\ used for analysis\n - `materials`: Research materials, such as instruments or questionnaires\n - `papers`: Manuscripts\
\ or published papers\n - `supplements`: Supplementary materials that enhance understanding of the research\n\n**Permissions**:\n\
\ - Read access requires view permissions on the parent Registration.\n - Write access requires edit permissions on the\
\ parent Registration."

name: OSF Schema Response Actions API
description: "Schema Response Actions are objects that when created cause state transitions for Schema Responses. Users\
\ use state transitions to submit, approve, and revise new Schema Responses.\n\nSchema Response Actions have a few different\
\ triggers to cause state transitions:\n\n - `submit` is a trigger to transition a Schema Response from an `in_progress`\
\ state to an `unapproved`\nstate,\n this freezes edits for the Schema Response and allows all admin contributors to\
\ the Schema Response's\n Registration to either approved or reject the Schema Response.\n\n - `approve` is a trigger\
\ to transition a Schema Response from an `unapproved` state to an `approved`\nstate, this\n makes the Schema Response\
\ changes public completing the update of the Schema Response. On Schema\nResponses that\n are associated with a Registration\
\ that has Registration Provider a moderated workflow the `approve`\ntrigger\n will transition the Schema Response to\
\ `pending_moderation`.\n\n - `accept` is a trigger to transition a Schema Response from an `pending_moderation` state\
\ to an\n`approved`\n state. This trigger is only valid for Schema Responses that are associated with a Registration\
\ that\nhas\n Registration Provider a moderated workflow and only possible for a user designated as moderator\nof a\n\
\ Registration Provider.\n\n - `admin_reject` is a trigger to transition a Schema Response from an `unapproved` state\
\ to an\n `in_progress` state. This trigger allows users to reject purposed changes to a Schema Response.\n\n - `moderator_reject`\
\ is a trigger to transition a Schema Response from an `pending_moderation` state\nto an\n `in_progress` state. This\
\ trigger is only valid for Schema Responses that are associated with a\nRegistration\n that has Registration Provider\
\ a moderated workflow and only possible for a user designated as moderator\nof a\n Registration Provider."
