You can upload multiple files inside a folder and choose to publish the files after upload, or choose to keep the newly uploaded files in an unpublished state (can publish at any time later). Without publishing, you will not be able to view the files in the application 'Viewer' or perform any other operation such as send or move the file.
Navigate inside any folder and then click on the [Upload file] button (highlighted in the screenshot below) to upload a file from your computer. This is shown in the screenshot below,
You have two option to upload the files. These are 'Upload without indexing' and 'Upload with indexing':
Purpose of Indexing: Indexing is done with the purpose of organizing the uploaded plans and spec documents by discipline, version name, issue date or sheet description. The documents appear serially according to the alphabetical order of the file name (Index by File Name) or by sheet number present on the construction plan (Index by Sheet Number) from smaller to larger. All the indexed files are saved in PDF format. In case if you have chosen no indexing option before uploading, the name of the file and the original file format will be retained. No indexing option is chosen for documents other than construction plans or specs like in the instance of similar drawing in multiple formats (JPEG, JPEG saved in DOC, TIFF).
