With Application ZIP upload, you can add the zip files which are archived in the overall output. The difference between public and private can be changed at any time.

In edit your documents there are more functions available.
Edited documents, new thumbnails and additional topic brands can be updated at any time in the dashboard by clicking on "Edit" again. In the document list, you can check the HTML output at any time.

• Optional Lightweighting application upload
This upload is intended to upload an output from the CMS system. The advantage is that the content includes notes to external pages. Therefore, video files, PDF attachments or other notes do not have to be uploaded separately, which in turn reduces the amount of data considerably.
