Using File Manager in LiveText Features

Using File Manager in LiveText Features

LiveText users have a way to upload and manage files independently without having to create documents in the system. The File Manager allows users to upload and manage external files and images such as Word, Excel, PDF, PowerPoint, and text files in one centralized location. Basic navigations in the File Manager allow users to manage, rename and/or delete files, as well as create and manage labels. This feature is located under the File Manager tab at the top of the screen.
