Add or remove files from sites

Learn how to add or remove files from sites to help you keep your files organized, accurate, and up to date.

Why add files to sites?

As teams handle more documents over time, adding files to sites makes it easier to scale file management across multiple locations. Instead of creating folders or labels, you can link each file to one or more sites and then filter your list by site to quickly see which files apply to each location. Files you add to sites still follow your existing Documents access settings, so you control who can view or edit using owners and share options.

Filter files by sites via the web app.

Use sites for “where this file is used” and labels for “what this file is about,” such as equipment type, department, or document status.

You can only select up to 100 sites per file. In addition,you can view sites where your files belong to via the mobile app from version 25.44 or above.

If you have "Documents: Administrator" permission, you can add or remove any files in your organization from a site.
