CommonSpot first stores multiple items in a pending state, for adding, deleting, or changing attributes such as name,
description, or metadata before making them available on the site. If upload document types differ, CommonSpot
prompts you to upload in batches to correctly apply metadata.
The process of uploading new documents and new versions of existing documents is similar to Creating a New Page.
To upload a single document, select Upload Single Document. Next, complete the Standard or Custom Properties
dialog, as you would during the page creation process. See Upload Multiple Documents for details on the process of
adding documents in batches.
If your site associates custom metadata with uploaded documents, add Custom Properties information by clicking Next
and completing the form.
For example, in the site using the form above, thumbnail representations are associated with uploaded documents to
easily identify them. This custom properties form prompts for selecting a thumbnail image during new document
upload.
Click Save to complete the document upload.
To upload new versions of existing documents, use the Find or My Uploaded Documents or report dialogs. Click the
Metadata & Security icon for a selected document, then click Upload New Version.
