Adding files to a library

Add files to your library or create new files to share them with community members.

About this task

If the community owner specifies that files must be reviewed before they are uploaded to the library, you must save the files as drafts. You can then submit them for review before you upload to the library.

Procedure

To upload files to a library, complete the following steps:
  1. Open the library and the folder where you want to upload the file.
  2. Upload flies by using either the Manual files upload or the Drag-and-drop method:
    1. To manually upload files, click Upload Files and then click Browse to select the files to upload.
    2. Import files from your operating system by directly dragging files into your browser.
  3. Select one of the following options:
    1. Click Check In to upload the file and make it available to library users.
    2. Click Save as Draft to upload the file as a draft. Only you can see and work with your drafts. To check in a draft, open the file page and click Check In.
If HCL Connections™ Docs is deployed, you can create new files directly within a library. To use HCL Docs to add new files to a library, complete the following steps:
  1. Open the library and the folder where you want to upload the file.
  2. Click New and then select either Document, Spreadsheet or Presentation depending on the type of file you want to add.
  3. Enter a file name for the file.
  4. Optional: Set the tags, description, and document type for the file.
  5. Click Create. The file is now created and opened for editing in HCL Docs.
    Note: The format of the file that is created depends on your HCL Docs file format preferences. For more information, see http://help.hcltechsw.com/connections/v65/using/text/document/d_changing_the_default_file_format.dita.

What to do next

If you saved your file as a draft, you must submit the file for review before it can be published to the library. Open the file summary page and click Submit for Review.
