Add documents to Communities

Add Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents to IBM Connections communities.

This topic provides one way to add Microsoft Office documents to a community. In Microsoft Office 2010, we can also add documents from the File tab in Office applications by clicking Save & Send and then Send to IBM Connections.

1. Open the document.

2. Click the Connections tab.

3. Click Communities.

4. If we connect to more than one site, select a site to upload the document to.

5. Type the community name or select one using the dropdown.

6. Choose whether to upload the document directly to the community, or upload it to My Files in the Files application, and share it with the community from there.

7. (IBM SmartCloud only) Choose to encrypt the contents of the file.

8. (IBM SmartCloud only) Choose whether people outside of the organization can see this file.

9. Click OK.
