The File Management tool is one of the basic funtions available on our WebStudio. It can be found under the "Core Tools" section of the main menu to the left-hand side of the studio.

File Listing

After you have selected the File Management tool from the main menu, you will see a listing of the non-page files that exist on your website. The listing will by default display a maximum of 50 files per page. To change the amount displayed per page, you can select a new value from the drop down list on the bottom right of the page.

You may choose to restrict the File Listing based on the folder or filename. You can do this by using the "filter" option at the top right of the page.

File Creation

Bulk Uploading allows you to upload multiple files at once. Simply select the destination folder on the left, the files you wish to upload, then click "Upload."

To manually create a file, first select "Create" from the top left above the File Listing. To create a file, you will need to assign a filename. It is important to remember to select a unique page filename. The filename can include letters, numbers, and the underscore "_" symbol. It can also include one period before a file extension (such as .jpg, .pdf, or .mp3).

Note: It is important to not use extensions that are commonly used for other types of files (such as .html which is commonly used for webpages) as it may lead to file serving issues and/or confusion for the site visitors.

Note: All files should have an extension. Failing to add an extension, or removing and existing one, may result in errors or bugs in the content of your website.

You can also set a folder(s) value. This value can consist of letters, numbers, and the "/" symbol to indicate a folder.

Select the "Browse" button to browse your computer for the file you wish to upload.

Select "Ok" once you are ready to upload your new file.

File Editing

When you are on the File Listing you can find the "File Edit" option to the right of each page row. Select the "Edit" option for the file you wish to modify. Simply follow the same instructions as for creating a new file.

File Deletion

When you are on the File Listing, you can find the File Deletion option to the right of each page row. Select the "Delete" option for the file you wish to remove, or select the checkboxes to the left of all the files you wish to remove and select the "Delete Selected" option at the bottom left of the page. Follow the prompts to remove these files.

Removed files are not necessarily removed perminantly. Most files can temporarily be restored from backups depending on the security packages you selected.
