Save Information

When using M-Files, you no longer save documents in a single folder but on the M-Files drive, which can be found on your computer like a hard drive. You do not need to specify any other location than the document vault, as M-Files locates the document in the correct views on the basis of the metadata you define in the metadata card.

Does your M-Files look different? - This video features the latest M-Files user interface (released in November 2022). Please note that the lessons in this video still apply. To access tutorial videos featuring the previous user interface, please click here here.

To upgrade to the new user interface, please consult your organization's M-Files Business admin to see about updating your M-Files application.
