   • Maintain Folder Structure - The complete structure within the zip file is extracted and preserved when uploaded. Any zip files within your main zip are also extracted, up to 10 levels deep.
   • Files Only - Only files within the zip file are uploaded; folders are ignored. Any zip files within your main zip are also extracted, up to 10 levels deep.
   • Keep as Zip - The file is uploaded as a single item (zip file). Contents are not extracted, and end-users must download the zip file and open it locally to view contents.
5. Click Next.
6. Choose if you would like to publish uploaded files now or later. Unpublished files are visible only to admins and reviewers with manage permissions.

   • Set to hidden - Files are not visible to external users.

8. Click Upload.

   • If you wish to continue working in the application while files upload, click Minimize. Click the minimized uploader bar in the lower right corner of the content screen when you would like to restore the uploader screen.
   • If you choose to cancel the upload while it is in progress by clicking the Cancel Upload button, nothing from the upload session will appear on the site.

In the event that your file fails the file processing step of the upload, the file will be placed in the Action Required list within the Shortcuts panel. See the Shortcuts article for more details.

Note that .rar files are not able to be unzipped on the platform and will be uploaded as download-only files. If unzipping is needed, the file will need to be extracted offline and uploaded.

Also, note that some file types are not processed and automatically post as 'Download Only' files. Typically these are file types without pages that cannot be viewed in the secure document viewer. For a list of included file types, see Bypass Files.
