How to Upload Documents to the Document Library
Store the documents your whole organization needs in the Document Library, so people can find them instead of asking who has the latest copy.
Upload a document
- Go to Workflow & Productivity > Document Library.
- Click Add A New Document. The Document Workspace opens on Document Details.
- Fill in the details:
- Document Title. Required, and the thing people search on, so use a name a colleague would actually type.
- Document Category. One of your own classification codes. Use the add icon on the field to create a new one.
- Document Description. What the document contains, and when someone would want it.
- Attach the file under Upload The Document Here. Drag it onto the box marked Drag & Drop Your File Here, or click the box to browse your computer.
- Click Save Changes & Exit.
What you can upload
Images (png, jpg, jpeg, gif), PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, text and CSV files, RTF, and zip archives.
Replacing the file later
Open the document and look at the upload box. With a file already attached it invites you to click or drag to replace, so you can put a new version in place without creating a second record and leaving people unsure which is current. There is also a Download Document button for grabbing a copy.
Who can see it
Use Chapter, Division, and Department to tie a document to one part of your organization. For a document that should not be edited or opened by everyone, use Set As View Only or Lock This Record at the top of the details page, and name your exceptions on Record Permissions.
