If you are in the midst of uploading files and click Cancel, a message is
displayed and asks if you to confirm the cancellation. If you choose Yes, the
procedure is cancelled without uploading the files.
All files are automatically compressed when they are moved to your local
computer or the server. You do not need to compress (zip) files, subfolders,
or folders.
The updated version of the folder, subfolder, or file becomes the new version
(appears in the Project Files/Versions tab list as version 2), the older version
is moved (appears in the same list as version 1), and the item is unlocked.
NOTE Be careful when updating files that you do not overwrite changes made
by another member who may have edited and the same file. For tips about sharing
project file information effectively, see Collaborative Work Environment (page 25).

Adding a Link to a Folder or File
A link is a shortcut to a file, form, form log, folder, project or web site. Links
are merely shortcuts to other places within a site. This is similar to creating a
shortcut on your desktop to a program that you use often. Navigating through
a large site can be time consuming and a link can help you reach a desired
location quickly.
Adding a link provides an easy way for others to view related information.
For example, you can add a link to a project to provide a quick way for project
members to get to the project from another location on your site without
actually having to navigate to that location.
NOTE Project members can only view linked items to which they have permission.
That is, if Sally does not have permission to Project B, she will not be able to follow
the link to Project B. If you want all members to be able to access the linked item,
ensure that they are members of the parent project.
To add a link:
1 Select the item that you want to link to in the Details view (right-hand
pane of the window).
