File Properties General Tab

This window is displayed when the document properties link is selected on the Project Documents page. The General tab is highlighted by default. From here you can view file property details and take the following actions:

To revert to a previous

  • View: Click to view the file in a separate window.
  • Redline: Click to add redline markups to the file.
  • Download: Click to open the file or save it locally in its native format.
  • Delete: Click to delete the file. You are prompted for confirmation.
  • Check In: Click to check in the file. Only displays for files that are currently checked out. If a different file name is checked in, the new file name will be used, but the version number will be updated. Files can also be checked in by uploading the file (with the same name) into the same folder. For detailed steps on both methods, see Check In Files.
  • Undo Check Out: Click to check in a file that was recently checked out.
  • Check Out: Click to check out the file.
  • Revert to Revision: Click this button to revert a file to a particular version. This button is displayed and available only when there are multiple versions of a document.
  • Move: Click to move the file to a different folder or project. Moving files automatically deletes files in the original location. When a file is moved between projects all of the history associated with the file is deleted. Using this feature, users do not have to manually delete old files after they have been copied over. If you do not want to delete the original documents, do not move the files, you may choose to copy documents instead.
