How do I edit my uploaded files?
Have you ever needed to edit or make comments on an uploaded file? Instead of having to exit the file in order to discuss it, or worse yet; download it, make comments and then re-upload, use our Annotation feature! With this feature, you can comment, tag, and converse directly on a file in your File Column!
To access our annotation feature, click to view one of the files from the File Column or from the Files View. Hover at the top of the image, and you will see the option to 'Add Comment' appear.
Once you’ve added a comment, the option to 'Hide' or 'Show' comments will appear!
Clicking on 'Show Comments’ opens up all of the comments or conversations that were previously added to this file. Clicking on ‘Add’ allows you to create a new comment wherever you’d like on this picture by dragging the small pointer to your location of choice.
To edit or delete existing comments, click on the three-dot menu to the right of your name in any of your annotations.
How can I delete a file?
To delete a file, simply click on the 'X' on the right of the file as shown here:
How can I see a summary of my files?
To see a list and a Gallery View of all files in one group, you can add a Column Summary! Click the arrow beside the Column's title and select 'Show Column Summary' from the menu.
Now you can see how many files are in your groups, and if you hover over the Column Summary, you'll see the thumbnail and name of each file!
You can click on any of the files to open up the Gallery View so that you can flip between all of the files in your group! If you click on "Start Conversation" from the file's summary in the Gallery View, you'll be navigated straight to the item's Updates Section!
