content; they will only see content if they browse to it or if it meets search
criteria.
■ If the top level of a folder hierarchy is shared and specified as a watched
folder, all of the subfolders are watched and indexed, regardless of the
share setting. If you do not want content inside a folder hierarchy to be
shared, move it to a private location or build a new hierarchy of data to
share.
■ If a top level folder is shared, the contents inside are indexed but parallel
data to that top level folder is not indexed.
Add Watched Folders
You can add folders to the watched folders list in Content Explorer or via the
Autodesk Content Service Administration Console. Generally, you should add
folders to the watched folder list through Content Explorer. However, if you
need to add folders to a watched list and AutoCAD or an AutoCAD vertical
are not installed, then you can use the Autodesk Content Service
Administration Console to specify watched folders.
NOTE Refer to the Autodesk Content Service help for more information.
You can add a folder for watching through Content Explorer based on the
content source that has been selected. Refer to Manage Content Sources on
page 108 for more information.
