This video is all about how you can save to M-Files. Whenever you save a document to M-Files, you use metadata to tell the system what the document is and what it relates to. When using M-Files, you no longer save documents in a single folder. Rather, you save your documents to the M-Files drive (which can be found on your computer like any other drive). You do not need to specify any other location than the document vault, as M-Files locates the document in the correct views on the basis of the metadata you define in the metadata card.

This video explains how documents are edited in M-Files via first checking them out for editing and then, when you are done with your changes, checking them back in to the vault. It also explains the version history functionality of M-Files.

This video explains how you can find your documents easily using Quick Search. Quick Search looks for objects that contain the search word in the file contents or metadata.

This video introduces you to views. Views are saved searches. When you click a view, you tell M-Files what you'd like to see based on metadata criteria Creating views is largely based on specifying the metadata used for searching and categorizing documents. Browsing and access documents through views make up a heavy part of using M-Files every day.
