The Add File function is used for creating new document files for a multi-file document.
It should be noted, however, that a multi-file document in M-Files does not equal to a
folder in Windows. A multi-file document is a single document that contains zero or more
document files and one common set of metadata. A document file is a fixed component of a
multi-file document. For example, a contract scanned from a paper copy can be a
multi-file document and its pages can be the document files.
Note: Use the Import
File... function to add an existing file to the multi-file document.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop a file on top of a multi-file document.
Check out the multi-file document to which you want the new document file to belong, and select an extension for the new document file. In this case, any metadata for the new file does not need to be filled in as the document file is part of an entity.
