The 'Enable Simple Upload' setting should be on.
Below are the steps to publish a file using the 'simple upload' method:
Select the project and the destination folder.
Click the 'Upload' dropdown and select 'Files' to publish.
Alternatively, right-click on the folder name and select 'New', then select 'Add Files'.
A layered page will appear.
You can select one or more files by dragging and dropping the required files into the area from your local device storage.
If the name of any file selected for publishing matches the name of an existing file in the chosen project folder, it is considered a revision of that particular file in the project. You can click here for detailed help publishing a revision of an existing file in a project.
Once the required files are selected, click the 'Upload' button to initiate the publishing process. An activity centre appears, displaying the progress of the upload of each file. It automatically disappears once they are published successfully.
In the case of 'simple upload', certain file details will be automatically determined by the system and filled in the relevant file attribute information as follows:doc ref and doc title based on the file name
default status and default purpose of issue based on the project configuration
