Questions about this workflow

Does this confirm a dataset is complete for the topic?

No. The action lists uploads, and completeness depends on requirements and details supplied by the user.

Can it filter uploads by course?

Notis can only report on filters or identifiers supported by the available action and returned data. If a course association is missing, it should say so.
