Manage document files

Before you start

You need Can Edit access to rename or delete files. See Permission levels in CADchat.

Manage a document file

1. Open a space and click the Documents tab.
2. Click Files to open the Files panel.
3. Hover over a file and click "..." to open its options:
   • View File Info: See metadata including file size, upload date, and uploader.
   • Rename File: Change the file's display name in the space.
   • Download Original File: Download in the original uploaded format.
   • Update Cover Image: Set a custom thumbnail.
   • Remove Cover Image: Revert to the default thumbnail.
   • Delete File: Permanently remove the file from the space.

Tips and edge cases

• Deleting a file also removes any markups and threads anchored to it. This cannot be undone.
• Renaming a file only changes its display name. The original filename is preserved and available on download.
• If Delete File is greyed out, you may not have Can Edit access.
• If the "..." menu isn't appearing, try hovering directly over the file row.
