3. To add a new folder, select the ‘Add folder’ button located below the search bar. A prompt will appear to enter a title for the new folder, and then the create button can be clicked to finalize its addition.

4. To add documents to folders, open the desired folder and click the ‘Add New Document’ button. A prompt will appear to enter the document details. Documents can be added using the drag & drop feature or the browse option, which automatically retrieves default information such as document title, document number, and revision number. Alternatively, the ‘Cloud URL’ feature allows for retrieving and adding a document via a cloud URL. Once all details are entered or documents are added, click the create button to finalize the addition.

5. After a document is added, it can be edited by clicking the edit icon below the document. This will prompt the option to either add another document or modify the details of the existing one. If a new document is added using the drag & drop feature or the browse option, the new document’s details will be retrieved and saved as version 2, and the ‘Update’ button can be selected to finalize the upload.

6. Document versions can be chosen from the drop-down menu and downloaded using the download icon as shown in the image below. Additionally, the ‘home’ text beneath the buttons can be clicked to return to the Document Library’s home page.
