Chapter 1: Getting to Know Your Team Site
Uploading documents
Most teams need to share documents. You probably use e-mail to send docu-
ments as attachments. With your new SharePoint 2010 team site, you can upload
your files to the team site and send your team members a link to the document.
SharePoint 2010 uses a special kind of container — a document library —
for storing files. Your team site has a document library dubbed Shared
Documents where you can put documents you want to share with others.
You can create additional document libraries and give them any name you
want. See Chapter 2 for more details on working with files and document
libraries in SharePoint 2010.
To upload a document to the Shared Documents library in your team site:
1. Click the Shared Documents link in the left navigation pane of your
team site.
The Shared Documents library appears.
You can click the All Site Content link in the left navigation pane to view
a list of all the document libraries that you have permission to access.
2. Click the Upload Document button on the Documents tab of the
SharePoint Ribbon.
The Upload Document window appears.
3. Click the Browse button and in the Choose File dialog box, select a file
to upload.
4. Click OK to upload the file to the document library.
When the file is uploaded, SharePoint displays the document’s proper-
ties in a new window, as shown in Figure 1-2.
