This video demonstrates how you can group information by creating your own document collections in M-Files. A document collection is a set of interrelated documents. The difference from a multi-file document is that each member of a document collection is independent and has its own metadata. In addition, the document collection has a collective set of metadata that is independent of the member documents. By contrast, in a multi-file document, all document files share the document's properties.

This video shows how you can build relationships between items in M-Files through metadata.

This video shows you how you can convert a single file to a multi file in M-Files. A multi-file document is a single document with multiple subfile, with a single metadata card. The difference from a document collection is that all the files in the multi-file document are bundled together under a single metadata card.

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.
