Once you are logged you will be redirected to the homePage which is also the governance page.

HomePage​

The left panel could be closed or opened by clicking the three lines behind the arrow.

In the homePage, depending if you are an Admin or a member, you can navigate with the left view (between green square brackets) between Users, Governance, Developers Space, and Support.

The center of the interface (green rounded rectangle) allows you to consult and manipulate your documents.

Versionning​

Every time you upload a modified version of your file, it will create a new version. This functionality allows you to access the old ones if needed.

For the example, we uploaded two different versions of a File.

Sharing privileges​

Your actions on the document will depend on your permission.

  • Reader: allows you to download the document and copy the documentID. You will not be able to upload a new version. The next figure shows Reader possible actions.
  • Editor: The difference between the reader and the editor is that when you are an editor you are eligible to upload a new version of the downloaded file.
  • A Manager will have the same privilege that the owner of the document. The difference is that a manager is not able to delete a document.
