Import Documents

The Import Documents plugin in the Administrative Console (Documents Online > Documents) provides the user with the ability to import archived documents that were created by the Export Documents plugin. The Export plugin creates files of type .ZIP and are the only files that can be selected for import.

Archived Documents

It is important to note that only archived files marked as Import Enabled by the Export Documents plugin can be imported. When an archived document is imported, the .ZIP file is extracted by the Import Documents plugin. After extraction, the user can insert the documents to the original location from where the file was exported.
