You may use the profile link labeled "Add a document" to add your first publication. When you click that link, you will be taken to a form allowing you to add the content, as described in Creating new content. There are several important fields on this form that allow you to upload files, set the document type, and so on.

Special document fields

The ID field lets you set an alphanumeric document identifier. Please contact the site administrator if you are not sure what value to supply here.

"CS Author(s)" allows you to specify one or more co-authors of this document. The name or names you choose will be auto-completed if you pause while typing the value:

Supply one author per field. If you need to add more authors, click the "Add another item" button to create a blank field:

"Other author(s)" is similar, but allows you to specify authors who do not have CS accounts. This field should not be used for CS users. This is because when other users view your document, only authors who have been supplied in the "CS Author(s)" field will have hyperlinks to their account in the body of the document:

"Publication year" is also a required field, and defaults to the current year.

The "Document types" drop-down list allows you to select from the following choices:

Use the optional "Abstract" field to supply a description of this document that will show up in document listings.

The "Document" field group allows you to upload a file to the server. Click the "Browse" button to find your document on your own computer:

Click the "Upload" button. A progress bar will appear, and then your document will be attached.

You must still click "Save" at the bottom of the page to save your new document.

The "External link title" and "External link URL" fields allow you to specify the location of a document that exists elsewhere on the web. Of course, follow applicable copyright law if you use this feature.

Finally, the "Project" drop-down list allows you to select a project with which to associate this document. You will see your own project(s), both those you created and those you have joined, as well as other public projects which allow non-member CS users to upload content to them.

Click "Save" to save your document, and you will see it in the list. You may add more documents by clicking "Add another publication" at the top of your list.
