Upload Answers

If a template has been enabled for answer uploading, the answers you provide to assemble a document can be uploaded to a Web server. The template developer specifies where and when answers will be uploaded. The developer may also specify that HotDocs automatically uploads the answers.

To upload answers

1. If a template is enabled for uploading answers, HotDocs automatically displays the Upload Answers dialog box after you assemble a document and close the assembly window. (If the Upload Answers dialog box doesn't appear, it means either that the template isn't enabled for answer uploading, or that the template developer specified that HotDocs must always upload the answers.)
2. Click one of the upload buttons to finish the upload process: Upload Now (uploads the answers immediately), Upload Later (lets you upload either when you start or exit HotDocs), or Don't Upload (doesn't upload the answers at all).

If errors occur when HotDocs tries to upload the answers (or if you click the Upload Later button), HotDocs creates a data file that contains the information needed about the files you need to upload. Then, every time HotDocs starts or closes, it checks to see if files are waiting to be uploaded and prompts you to upload them.

If you choose to Upload Later, you can then upload the files from the library window at any time by clicking Upload Answers (Tools menu).
