The Files tab is the cloud-based repository where all the PDFs that make up the different PDF components of each title (cover, text, wrap, belly band) are added and managed. This area shows the files uploaded to Piazza, file status, and allows for folder and file management. When a file is uploaded into the repository, Piazza performs a virus check to scan and attempt detection of potential threats. Folder hierarchy is created by the user based on specific needs. Typically they organize the books by trim sizes. For example, a folder may be 210x297 Books.


File List


Upon clicking on the Files tab, the All Files page is displayed by default and contains all files in the repository . The user can

also filter by Assigned or Unassigned files using the options in the lift-side navigation pane. The list of files displays

the following columns:

  • Name 

    The list is organized in ascending order by Name column

  • Size

From the files list page, the follow actions can be taken upon a folder or file in the Checked state using the ... menu:

  • Rename

If a file is in the In Piazza state, only the Download and Activity options appear in the ... menu.


Click to select the checkboxes next to the files or folders displays a menu at the

bottom of the page.
