Add, organize and reuse files

How to use it

Upload a file and locate it

1. Open /portal/files and choose the upload/file-picker control. Select a small supported practice file from your computer.
2. Wait for completion and check any named file-type, size, quota or storage error.
3. Use file search, Category and Sort files to locate the saved asset. Open its details and verify its name/type and preview.
4. Create or choose a folder when organizing assets. Add a useful Note if needed; a note is internal context, not a public caption.

Import from a remote URL

1. Open the library’s URL-import control and enter a direct reachable file URL, not just a normal webpage containing the file.
2. Select Import file and wait for the result. The import must satisfy this installation’s storage/type and remote-access checks.
3. Find the imported asset in the library and inspect its actual contents/type before reusing it.

Use or edit an asset

1. Open the destination page/editor and use its Files/image picker to select the intended library item.
2. Inspect the preview and save that page/editor. Storing a file and saving its use in a page are separate actions.
3. When an image editor is offered, inspect the crop/adjustments and use Save to retain the intended result, or Download to export a local copy. Check the resulting file afterwards.
