you can find on the right in the blue border
Add an item
This help uses the item type "file" as an example to show how to add an item. If you want to add any other kind of item, the scheme is identical.


Add a file
Go to the folder where you want to add the item. If you're able to add content there, you will see a blue border around the top of the page. If not, there are two reasons: Either you are not logged in (because only logged in users are able to add content) or you don't have the rights to add content in this part of the site.

If you see the blue border, click on the "Add New Item"-Dropdown-menu on the right. There you see the different types of items you can add to a plone site. Choose "file".



Then, a form will open where you can upload your file:


In order to make your upload easy and quick it is only necessary to locate the file on your hard disk by clicking the button indicated in the screenshot on the right.

Notice, a title or a discription is not required, because the name of your file will be automatically set as title.
Only if you want to choose a different title or add a description, use these two fields.

To finalise your upload, press save.

Now, the upload is finished. You will find your file under the content- / view-tab in the blue border around the top.
