In the German team we use a similar system to what you're used to from Alfresco. If you have used the check out and want to upload the new file, you can do this in that way: - Go to the working copy, in the left side of the green menu bar (with "View", "Edit" and "Sharing" click on "Edit". - There you can add some comments about what you did, you can chose either to "Keep existing file" or "replace file with" and you can then browse to the corresponding file on your computer. Click on "Save". - When this is done, you can then click on the "Check in" in the actions menu. Then the old file will be replaced with your new file. - To see earlier versions of the same file, you can click on the "History" link. So, now to your problem: Since you have your file already uploaded into the feedback folder, just cancel your checkout. And I think you should be able to move the "original" file from the "To be updated..." folder to the e. g. "Old Drafts" folder. (I'm not sure if this is correct - look at the email from Jean to see, how she had intended this). If you can't move the document through say "Copy & Paste", just send a note and I will do it for you. But I do think, adopting a similar workflow like I've described above, would be a good idea. But this is a decision that the English team has to take.
