# Import Files

To upload/import offline documents to e.g. Attachments or File Objects, use the Import Files function.

Prepare the import set by zipping the files into a zip file. 

Select Import Files and in the displayed dialog, browse to the zip file and click **OK**.

For each file in the zip file:&#x20;

* A document object will be created
* The imported file will be associated with the first found File Attribute in the document object
* The title of the object will be set to the file name (including file extension)
* If the original files exist in a folder structure, an equivalent chapter structure will be automatically created and the files will be placed in the chapters corresponding to the folders of the original files.&#x20;
