Upload and edit files ¶
Files and folders can be uploaded and created in the "File list" file manager.
To upload a new file, click on "File list" in the Links column. Select a destination folder for the file. With the "Employee" authorization there is only one folder, you do not have to select anything here.
In the right-hand column, click on "Upload file" and select your file locally or on a server. Alternatively, drag and drop a file from the desktop directly into the field between the folder name and the search field.
If the file name already exists in this folder, another window will appear. Select the appropriate actions for the file(s) and click on "Continue".
After the successful upload, a success message will appear and the file(s) will be displayed in the folder.
Tip
You can upload several files at once by selecting several files in the pop-up window or by dragging and dropping several files into the field. To do this, hold down the Shift or CTRL key while selecting to select multiple files.
