Template Upload from HotDocs Author Overview
When you have created a template in HotDocs Author, you can then upload your template to HotDocs Advance.
For templates created in HotDocs Developer, you need the Advance Upload Plugin.
When you upload a template to HotDocs Advance, HotDocs Author packages up your template with any auxiliary templates or other needed files (such as images), then uploads your template package to HotDocs Advance so your template users can access your template. You upload your template using the Upload Destinations features of Workspace Explorer.
Overview
The template upload functionality enables you to upload a template (or templates) to the staging area of HotDocs Advance. An administrator can then make your template accessible to your template users. Uploading a template is the final step you take when you automate a HotDocs Author template.
You must have an Author role to upload templates to HotDocs Advance.

Before you can upload a template to HotDocs Advance, you must first use the Workspace menu to add an upload destination to your workspace. Once you do this, you click the Upload button.
