    • Documents and Folders Private by Default
      • Mark the checkbox if you want new files and folders to be marked as Private automatically.
        OR
      • Clear the checkbox if you want new files and folders to be visible to all users with 'Read Only' or higher permissions to the Documents tool. 
        Note: You can manually set individual files and folders to Private at any time. See Manage Permissions for Files and Folders.
    • Copy Folder Structure From Another Project: If you would like to copy the folder structure from another project, select a project from the drop-down menu next to 'From Project'. Note: Only folders are copied over to the project. Individual files are NOT included and will need to be uploaded separately. See Upload Files or Folders to the Project Level Documents Tool.
    • Import Options: You can email files into the Documents tool by sending them to the tool's inbound email address. The email address is listed in the 'To Email Files To This Project' section.
