About uploading Documents
Which document file types are supported?
You can upload any of the following document file types: .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .txt, .pdf, .rtf, .xml, .csv, .epub.
The maximum size for each document file is 35 MB.
Can I continue editing an article while my Document uploads?
Yes. You can start the upload process from any screen in Pangea CMS. For example, you can upload a file from the article edit screen, then continue editing the article while the file uploads in the background.
Can I upload multiple document files at the same time?
Yes. Pangea CMS can upload up to two document files simultaneously. You can select more than two document files for upload, but the third file will not start uploading until one of the first two files is fully uploaded. For instructions, go to the following section:
Can I adjust the settings for a Document while the upload is in progress?
Yes. If you are uploading a single document file, the Document edit screen opens automatically as soon as the upload starts. You can either click Close to let the upload complete in the background, or immediately start editing the Document.
If you are uploading multiple document files, the Upload manager appears in the top-right corner of Pangea CMS. To start editing a Document, hover over the relevant panel in the Upload manager, and click Edit (the pencil icon).
How can I find a Document that I previously uploaded?
Uploaded Documents are automatically saved in Pangea CMS with the status Draft. The title matches the name of the document file. You can find a Document that you previously uploaded using the Pangea CMS Search tool.
Why did the Upload manager disappear?
The Upload manager in Pangea CMS is not always available. The following rules apply:
- The Upload manager icon is visible for 10 minutes after the last file finishes uploading. After this time, the Upload manager is no longer available.
- If you close and then reopen Pangea CMS, the Upload manager is no longer available.

The Upload document dialog changes to Document edit as soon as the upload starts. You can immediately start editing the Document while the upload is in progress. Alternatively, click Close to close the edit screen and let the upload complete in the background.
Upload multiple document files
