saved and managed by the Document Manager.

The heading of this section is worded oddly because there are three distinct verbs that we use to “get”
files into the Document Manager. Each one has a slightly different function and result. These verbs
are:
• Save
• Move
• Add
There are many ways that you can get your files into the Document Manager.
