Speaking of document...
Documents are all the files posted by the user. They can be text files, images, spreadsheets, videos, etc.
To create documents, the user must have write permission in the location selected. The administrator can create documents regardless of the security defined.
Documents created using the simplified option or using drag and drop option, inherit the security, approval, and properties of the parent folder.
The upload of documents will be interrupted if the user leaves the document-browsing page while it is in progress.
It is not possible to add documents in the root folder of document browsing. Also, documents that are larger than the maximum size per file defined in platform cannot be added.
