Two questions for IML Network Folder Connector

1. Yes, it's working as designed: currently you can access and edit existing documents on the network drive via Network Folder Connector but you cannot create new files or folders via the connector. This option will hopefully be added later when we add new features to the Intelligent Metadata Layer.

2. Currently, you can promote multiple objects by selecting the objects in the listing and then adding metadata to the selected objects. You cannot promote files recursively and you cannot promote files on the server-side. M-Files Discovery add-on service can also automatically promote objects. Other mass-promotion improvements are on the roadmap.

Hello Jonas, 

This information is very helpful.

I do have one question to add to this if you would.

Is there a way to demote documents back to Unmanaged Document? What I have been doing for this is simply change the metadata of the files I want to demote to Uncategorized Document, but this does not mean they got Demotetd back.

Thanks.

You can right click and select to destroy metadata. This is the same as demoting. 

Thanks Craig, this helped
