Before you upload, please be aware that your original files can’t be renamed once they’re uploaded. For this reason, we recommend that you name your files appropriately before uploading them. Nevertheless, you will be able to rename any files you redact or enhance when using the system. To learn about file naming best practices, see Prepare Files3 for Import.
