Dear Lia, Shockingly, yes, I can access the item by adding /edit to its URL. Why on earth, I wonder, would the UI be glitching specifically for these two items? It's a site-wide admin (me) having issues with these buttons.
As to the Authorization policies, they're set to Read-Anonymnous-(start date)2022-08-27, so there's no reason why they should be hidden. So weird. Any ideas? Thanks, Carolyn.
