How is free Storage space calculated?

  • Files and file revisions, and files in Trash, all require space on Storage. For instance, if there are files in Trash, they still require some space on Storage. If there is a file, which is 10MB, but has 10 revisions, it's using up 100MB of Storage space.

Why am I unable to upload files to the 'Projects' folder?

  • The 'Projects' folder contains only Project folders that are being created by the system. Project folders are created automatically when a project is created.

What are Approval Workflows?

  • The Approval Workflow feature allows specific users to review and approve, or decline files in the Storage. Files that are waiting for approval cannot be deleted, updated, or modified by any means. Also, Approval Workflow cannot be edited while in use.

Can pending documents be deleted or changed?

How does revision control work?

  • When multiple users download a file, and one user uploads back an edited version first, the other users who want to upload it back will get a notification about the file version conflict. The other users will need to download the file again (the new version of the file), copy their changes into the new one, and then upload it back. This great solution to ensure that all changes are preserved all the time by all users.
