  - Publishing a version of a file
    In order for readers to see a draft created in HCL Connections Docs, or edits made in Docs, a new version of the file must be published. As of August 2015, if a file is being created or edited in Docs for the first time, publishing is set to occur automatically. If a file was previously created or edited in Docs, you must either enable the Publish Automatically command in that file, or publish each new version manually.
  - What if I have a file conflict?
    A person can decide to upload a new version of a file while another person is editing the file online or has saved an online file that is not yet published. The new uploaded version is stored in Files as its own version number, and you are warned of the conflict the next time you try to edit the file from the Files list.
  - Reverting to last version
    When you are editing in HCL Connections™ Docs, if you are not satisfied with the current version of your document, you can revert to the last version that was published. You can choose to save or discard your current edits before you revert to the last version of a document.
  - Viewing a file by using the viewer
    You can view an uploaded document, spreadsheet, presentation, or PDF file while you are working in Files.

    - Formatting numbers
      A number can look different from the actual value entered in a cell, depending on the number format. Number formats differentiate one kind of data from another; for example, currency from percentages. Number formats affect only how HCL Connections™ Docs displays numbers, not how it stores or calculates numbers.

    - Using formulas in calculations
      This section provides background information on formulas and functions, and organizes the functions in alphabetical order or by category to make it easy to find related functions.
      - About formulas and functions
        You enter a formula into a sheet to perform a calculation on numbers, text, or other formulas. When you use formulas, your data becomes dynamic. Functions are built-in formulas that perform specialized calculations automatically. You can use a function by itself as a formula, or combine it with other functions and formulas. Use operators to indicate how the parts of a formula are related.
