Adding a Document

To add a document to a docshare forum, do the following:

1. View the summit page.

2. Log in, if you have not already.

3. Click on the linked title of the forum in the "Discussion and Document Forums" section of the summit that you want to contain your document.

4. When viewing the top folder of the forum, in the upper-left corner of the page, click on the Add button, as follows:
   For illustration only:

5. In the displayed menu, click on the Add Document link.

6. In the "Title" text box, specify a descriptive title for your document (such as "Widget Version 2.3 Project Plan").

7. Locate the "Upload a file from your local computer" table, which is located approximately half way down the page.

8. Click on the Browse button, which is located to the right of the empty text box.

9. Double click on folder names to locate the file on your computer that you want to upload into Forum.
   Note: Using Windows systems, when you double click on a folder name, the system opens the folder and displays its contents. If you are using a system that opens folders differently, use the method that works for your operating system.

10. When you have located the file, double click on it, which adds the filename to the "Upload a file from your local computer" text box.

11. The remaining items on the "Add an uploaded file to..." form are optional; use them, if you choose. If you are just starting out with Forum, you may want to leave them blank for now.

12. Click on the OK button located at the bottom of the page.

    The title that you provided in the Title text box now appears as a hyperlinked title in the top folder. When someone clicks on that linked title, they view the file that you just uploaded into Forum.
