The following is a step-by-step guide through the process of importing files:

 

1. Copy your files into the specified import folder.

 

2. Go to CMS Desk -> Tools -> File import. You should see a list of files that are currently in the import folder.

 

3. Choose which files should be imported using the checkbox next to each file and specify the following properties:

 

Target alias path: path within the content tree where the files will be imported

Culture: culture to which the uploaded files (documents) will be assigned

Delete imported files from disk: if enabled, files in the import folder will be deleted after a successful import

Include file extension in name: if enabled, the file extension is included in the Document name of the newly imported files

 

Click Start import.
