How to upload files in the new version of Tulip/MySites/SharePoint2010?

Well hopefully by now you've all seen the new set up of the Tulip/MySites this is down to uni updating its systems with SharePoint 2010 which is actually a really good upgrade for a quick overview of the updates (if your interested in such things) have a look here (or skip to find out how to upload files):



Right so how do I upload?

1. Log into the portal like you would normally
2. Go to the site your wanting to upload a file to (for this example I'm using a subsite of my MySite).
3. Within said site go to a document library all Teaching and Learning sites have a "Shared Documents" folder by default so go to there. For my example I'm going to use the "Case-Loading" folder in my Eportfolio subsite. 
4. Within your document library you should see something similar to this:
   
   
   
   
   
5. As noted select the "Documents" link at the top which should change the "Ribbon" to have contextual information which will hopefully be quite self explanatory:
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. From this select "Upload Document" and the following should pop up:
   
   
   
7. It should be quite self explanatory what to do next particularity if you've ever uploaded anything on the internet before, in case your mind fails you select "browse" and find the file your aiming to upload.
8. It'll take a couple seconds to upload (depending upon your internet connection). You will then be greeted with a quick edit panel (I'm assuming this'll get removed in the not to distant future)
   
   
   you'll need to fill out all fields marked with an *, once done select "Save" and your done.

Hope this is of some help to you, please comment or email me if you need any points explained etc.

Refreshing your Midwifery E-Portfolio

Hi all, your E-Portfolio's were desinged on an older version of SharePoint which has since been upgraded (which should hopefully solve the dreaded Vista issue). However as a result of any upgrade thee are initiall teething issues. These should be ironed out automatically over time, however if your a tad impatient you can follow this tutorial:

Log into your E-Portfolio like usual and you should be greeted with this hideous looking thing (click the image to make it bigger):

As you can see from the image, select the "Site Actions" link, (its a tiny bit tedious clicking this as, you might be able to tell the sites not behaving properly).

This should bring up the following options again apologise for the viewing difficulty (click the image to make it bigger):

Try and select the "visual upgrade" option, it'll quite annoyingly disappear if you roll you mouse over certain areas etc (its although its trying it hardest to annoy you!), my best method was to click where it says "previous one").

You'll then be greeted with this page (click the image to make it bigger):

Like it says in the image ignore all the initial options and focus where it says "Visual Upgrade" select the "update the user interface" option (it'll initially be on the "use the previous user interface" option).

Then select OK, and hopefully all should be ok!

Please get back to me if there are any new issues, hopefully this upgrade that the university has done will solve some of the more known issues with your e-Portfolio... which will be nice!
