note
When working with documents in GoFileRoom, consider the following best practices:
  • Edit files directly
    : Always edit files directly within GoFileRoom. Exported documents are copies and are no longer GoFileRoom documents. Any changes made to these exported files won't be reflected in the original GoFileRoom document.
  • Avoid version control issues
    : Saving an edited exported document creates a new document rather than replacing the original one. This can lead to confusion and version control problems, making it difficult to track the most current version of the document.
  • Document naming conventions
    : Exported files are named using the indexes set by your firm's GoFileRoom administrator. These naming conventions are consistent with those used for emailing documents via Outlook.
  • Exporting multiple documents
    : Exporting multiple documents is limited to 1 GB per download.
  • Permissions for exporting
    : To export multiple documents, you'll need the
    Allow user to work offline
     permission. This permission is managed internally by your firm's GoFileRoom administrator.
