Upload multiple files at once
There are two ways to upload files in bulk to SiteBuilder:
- Upload multiple files to the Files tab
- Upload a ZIP file to the Files tab and extract the contents
Upload multiple files
- Browse to the page where you want to upload the files.
- Go to Edit > More, then select the Files tab. This tab lists all files uploaded to the current page (if any).
-
Select Upload:
-
On the Upload a file screen, select Browse/Choose Files:
- Browse to the files you want to upload from your computer and use Ctrl/Cmd+select to choose multiple files.
- Select Upload.
-
On the Uploading multiple files screen, confirm which files you wish to upload by selecting the checkbox alongside each file. If a file with the same name exists on this page in SiteBuilder, selecting the checkbox overwrites the previous file with the version you are uploading.
-
Optionally, specify a Short title for the files. The short title appears in the contents list page template. You can use this property to help make a list of files such as course notes more readable. For example, a short title of Urban Space AR101 reading list is simpler than the file name ar101-reading.docx. The Short title defaults to the file name and you can edit it later in file properties.
- Select Upload selected. You should now see your files uploaded to the Files tab. When you have finished uploading files, select Done.
Upload a ZIP file
Note:
- HTML files cannot be uploaded in a ZIP file
- You can choose whether to overwrite existing files or not
- Unpacked files are flattened – directories inside the ZIP file are ignored
- Prepare the .ZIP file. There are several ways to do this – for example:
- Windows – in Files Explorer, select multiple files > right-click > Send to > Compressed (ZIP) folder
- macOS – in Finder, select multiple files > Ctrl+select or right-click > Compress n items
- Go to the page where you want to upload the ZIP file.
- Go to Edit > More, then select the Files tab. You can see a list of all the files, if any, currently uploaded to the page.
-
Select Upload:
-
On the Upload a file screen, select Browse/Choose Files and attach the ZIP file from your computer:
- Select Upload.
-
On the ZIP file handling screen, you're asked how you want to upload the file. To upload the ZIP file without extracting the contents, select Upload as zip.
-
Alternatively, to extract the contents of the ZIP file to the Files tab in SiteBuilder, select Extract files:
-
You can now see each file. Use the checkboxes to choose which files to extract:
- Optionally, specify a Short title for the files. The short title appears in the contents list page template. You can use this property to help make a list of files such as course notes more readable. For example, a short title of AR101 reading list is simpler than the file name ar101-reading.docx. The Short title defaults to the file name and you can edit it later in file properties.
- Select Unpack. You should now see your files listed on the Files tab.
