Documents
All files uploaded to AxCMS.net are considered documents. They can be text files, images, flash movies, PDF files, etc.
You can upload new documents by going to New -> Documents OR Edit -> Documents and clicking the button New on the left side of the overview page.
On the Document Detail page there are six sections that represent different details and editor options relevant to the file. Some additional sections appear after the document has been saved and/or published, some are influenced by the file type. We will take a look at default each section; additional details and sections that depend on the state of the document or are file specific will be explained accordingly.
