Why has my document description changed?

Updated yesterday

No worries, this happens automatically and for a good reason.

Descriptions with 20 characters or fewer are adjusted by our system.
This helps make your document easier to find on Stuvia and in search engines like Google.

What exactly changes?

  • The system adds relevant details, such as:

    • the study program

    • the book title

    • the number of pages

  • Your original description is kept and added at the end.

Example:
A description like “Safety H1” may be changed to:
“Summary of 15 pages for the course ‘Thinking about Safety’ at VU (Safety H1).”

How do you write a strong description?

We recommend making your description as detailed as possible, including:

  • The course or subject

  • The number of pages

  • The book or course your document is based on

A good description makes your document more visible and more appealing to buyers.
