Once a filing structure has been established, you can begin adding files. Drake Documents supports many file types and allows you to import or scan files into your configured structure. Once added to a folder, files are listed in the right pane of the Working Cabinet window.


Files can be added to the Working Cabinet from the toolbar or through the menu bar option, Documents.
