Speaking of multiple posting...
Multiple posting is a feature that allows several documents and/or folders to be posted with a single action. Performed via drag-and-drop or with a ZIP file containing the folders or documents to be published.
Description files can be used in multiple publication. This file has information that will be used in the post and serves to reuse the same information for all documents. Such information may be:
- File name (required field);
- Description;
- Keyword;
- Additional comments;
- Author;
- Version/review description;
- Expiration date.
When the folder has approvers, only the files posted directly to the folder will be sent for approval. The sub-folders and their files are not sent for approval, following the same concept of a common publication with approvers.
Tip!
For large volumes of documents, we recommend the use of Document taxonomy, which can help organize and sort files properly. Refer to the Document taxonomy page for more details.

Version control
Version control method applied to the document. Available options:
- Create new review: when selected, this option determines that all changes made will result in a new reviewed version of the current document. It is normally used when the document has a slight change. As you choose this option, the contents of the document can be changed and its original creation date will be changed to the date it was last changed due to the creation of a new review.
- Create new version: when selected, this option determines that all changes made will result in a new document version. It is normally used when the document has a substantial change in content. As you choose this option, the contents of the document can be changed and its original creation date will be changed to the date it was last changed due to the creation of a new version.
- Maintain current version: when selected, the current document version is maintained. It is used when the current document is no longer valid and it is necessary to replace all of the current content with new, updated content. If the document requires approval, the document's previous content continue to be displayed until the new version/review is approved. This option is only displayed when the option "Create compulsory version/review" is not checked when creating the document. As you choose the “Maintain review” option, the contents of the document can be changed and the date that the original version was created can be maintained, without creating a new version of the document.
Allows download and printing?
When checked, this option determines that the documents allow their content to be downloaded and printed by users who have permission to do so, i.e., the Download and printing option under the document's Security tab is checked for a user or a group to which the user belongs.
Update properties of a controlled copy?
When checked, this option updates information in the document properties, which is required to print the controlled copy of the documents.
Use internal viewer?
When checked, this option determines that the documents will be displayed in the platform's internal viewer. In multiple posting, this option only applies to PDF files or images that do not require conversion.
