Success Criteria

  • Interface result: the page shows multiple creation options.
  • Next action available: you can continue by choosing a document type, uploading a file, or creating a folder.

Tips While Using

  • This is a cloud document workflow, so it helps to confirm that you are already in the correct directory.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: a new editing window or editor opens.
  • Next action available: you can type, edit, and continue managing the file in the current directory.
  • No side effect: existing items in the directory remain unchanged.

Tips While Using

  • New files are saved to the current cloud directory by default.
  • Choose the file type carefully before creating it to avoid duplicate blank files.

3. Upload files and create folders

Entry: New page → Upload or Folder

  1. On the New page, click Upload and choose a local file.
  2. Wait for the file to finish uploading to the current directory.
  3. If you want to organize content first, click Folder.

Success Criteria

  • Next action available: you can open the file, continue organizing content, or create more files inside the folder.

Tips While Using

  • Confirm the current directory before uploading so files go to the intended location.
  • Use clear folder names to make later organization easier.
