Uploading changes

Upload your new and updated files to Helix server so other users have access to your changes. The files are updated in Helix Core server.

Tip

When you rename a file, it is shown as two changes on the My changes and Changes by others lists. This is because the Helix server handles the file with the new name as an add and the file with the old name as a delete.

In Helix Sync, click the workspace to open it.

Click the My changes list. Each file is marked so you know what type of change was made:

Change type	Description
Added	The file is new. You can upload it to share it with other users.
Changed	The file was edited. You can upload it to share changes with other users.
Renamed	The file was renamed. You can upload it to share the new name with other users.
Conflict	The file was changed both on the Helix server and in your local workspace. You need to manually resolve the conflict before uploading the file.
Locked	The file is locked. It may be locked by another user and you cannot upload changes until they unlock it. Or, you may have it exclusively locked and no one else can make changes to the file until you upload it.
Deleted	The file was deleted.

To perform an action on a file before uploading it, click the ellipsis (...) next to the file and select an action. To perform an action on all of the changed files in a folder, click the ellipsis (...) next to the folder and select an action.

The actions available to you depend on the type of change the files are marked as. Options are:
- Undo your changes. See Reverting changes to a file.
- Have Helix Sync ignore the file. See Ignoring a file or all changed files in a folder.
- Have Helix Sync ignore files with this file extension. See Ignoring files with a specific file extension.
To upload your changes, do one of the following:
- Upload all of your changes. Click Upload changes. This may take a while depending on the number of files and file sizes.
- Upload all of your changes and add a description of the changes. See Uploading all changed files and adding a change description.
- Upload all of your changed files in a folder. See Uploading all changed files in a folder.
- Upload changes for a single file. Click next to the file.
When the upload is complete, Helix Sync displays:
- Changes were successfully uploaded if there were no issues.
- There was a problem uploading files if there is any conflict between your files and files other users changed. Files that have a conflict are highlighted with a red border. For information about resolving conflicts, see Resolving upload and download conflicts.
