Creating a new document

 

 

Users of Plek can post documents in Plek. These can be public documents (intended for all users of your Plek) or group documents (intended for users from specific groups). In Plek, you will find an overview of all documents, and within each group, you will find a list of group documents.

In this overview, we will show you how to publish a document for everyone.

Posting a document

To upload a new document, follow these steps:

1. Move your mouse over Documents in the navigation bar.

2. Then click on New document.

4. Navigate to the folder where your document is stored and double click on the file concerned.

Now a screen appears on the right in which you can change the settings for this document.

6. Then click on Save. The document now has the information you entered. Other users on your site will also see this information.
