Zip Files in Cascade

You can upload zip files to your Aggie UX Cascade site if they are 20,480 KB or smaller.

7. Click Submit
8. Enter version comments that will be saved in the asset’s version history.

Updating a Zip File

Sometimes you may need to make changes to a zip file after it has been added to your site. If you do this, we recommend uploading a new version of the existing zip file instead of creating a new zip file from the Add Content menu. This can help reduce the number of files uploaded to your site, making it easier to find specific files.

How to Update an Existing Document

1. Open the file you want to replace in the preview pane
2. Click Edit
3. Upload the new file file by dragging and dropping it into the file selection area or clicking choose to find the file on your computer.
4. Click Preview Draft
5. Click Submit
6. Enter version comments that will be saved in the asset’s version history.
7. Click Submit
