User Guide - Uploading Texts
eMargin offers three ways to upload a text. Either by uploading a file, fetching a web page or copying and pasting the text. Texts can be shared with others using groups. To upload a text go to Texts in the top menu and then click Upload a Text at the bottom of the page (you can also upload a text from a group's page).
Upload File
Click on the Choose File button (which may have different name based on your browser). A window will open for you to choose the file. Once chosen click Upload.
Fetch from the Web
Enter the URL of the web page to retrieve and click Fetch. You will be given a chance to edit the text afterward.
Copy and Paste
Copy the text from its source and paste it into the box, then click Upload.
Text Preview
After completing the initial upload you will be given a basic preview of the text. You can use this opportunity to edit the text. You must also fill out some extra details, such as title, author and source. Once ready click Complete Upload
Upload Complete
All being well you will then see a page telling you the upload is complete. You go directly to your text from here. This page also displays a list of groups to which you are able to add the text.
Sharing the Text
Groups are often the easiest way to share texts with other people. Please read the Sharing section of the guide for more information.
