Convert Multi-file to single file without deleting documents within

Neo

Hi,

Is it possible to convert a multi-file document into single files without deleting the documents itself within the multi-file document? I was able to convert a MFD to single file when I deleted one of the documents. Is there any other ways? Thank you.

    A single-file document can only contain a single file in it like the name suggests, so if you convert a multi-file document into a single-file document there can be only one file. What is it that you are actually looking to achieve? That the files in the multi-file document would be stored in the vault as several single-file documents, each with their own document ID and set of metadata?

    If that's your goal, I don't believe there is any built-in functionality to do this but it should be doable as a custom extension. Depending on your exact use case you could for instance use a workflow for this so that a script would split the multi-file document in a certain workflow state or add a custom command to the desktop client UI if your users should be able to do this on an ad hoc basis.

    Hi Joonas,

    The client wants to be able to do different actions in the files within the multi-file document that are in a workflow. I think using a script is the way to go. Thanks Joonas and birght-ideas.dk
