Publish a File Folder as a Sub-Folder on a Project

This article helps you understand how to publish a folder directly to Asite as a sub-folder of an existing project.

Updated today

Users on Asite having 'Admin' permission on the folder can publish file folders as subfolders on the projects/project templates accessible to them. This will include

all files as well as the content of all subfolders that are a part of the file folder being

published.

If you're publishing as a parent folder, you can learn how to publish a file folder as a parent folder on the project.

Below are the steps to publish a file folder on your local device storage as a sub-folder on your Asite project:

1. Navigate to the project or project template from folder tree navigation under

the 'Files' tab, then select the required folder for publishing subfolders in the 'Files' tab.

2. From the top right side, click the 'Upload' dropdown and select 'Folders'.

Alternatively, you can drag and drop the folder to be published to the file listing area from your local device storage at this stage and skip to Step 6 below.

3. It will populate a file explorer window where you can search and select the file folder that needs to be published from your local system.

Note: The options in the file explorer window may appear differently depending on your operating system.

4. Select a file folder you want to publish as a subfolder and click the 'Upload' option to continue.

5. A browser prompt will appear asking you to confirm if you want to continue publishing all files available from the selected folder to Asite. Select 'Upload' to continue.

6. The 'Upload' window appears, listing out the folder selected for publishing and its

size, including the number of subfolders and files included in the selected folder

mentioned separately.

At this stage, you can publish more folders by clicking on 'Select Folder(s)' or you can stop uploading one or more of the selected folders by clicking on the icon opposite the name of the selected folder.

7. Click 'Upload' to continue. The activity centre will then appear at the bottom right

of the window and display the progress of folder uploads. It will automatically

close once the selected folders are published successfully.

Irrespective of the configuration, files that are part of the folder getting

published will be published without any attribute details (i.e. it will be considered

as files published via 'simple upload').

Clicking 'Cancel' on the 'Upload' window will stop publishing the selected folders

and take you back to the files listing area.
