Adding an Existing File to a Dynamic List

You can add an existing file to a dynamic list. An "existing" file is a file that has content and is ready to be viewed on the site. The file may be located on the file system (that is, your local computer) or on the content server

When you add an existing file from your file system, Site Studio Contributor uploads the file and checks it into the content server with the required metadata so that it appears in the dynamic list. This method works best for adding a native document to the list, but you can also use this approach to add a contributor data file.

One thing to keep in mind as you add files to a dynamic list is that the files result in new web pages on the Web site. This is similar to what happens when you link to a newly created file using the Link wizard (see Creating a Link to a New Content File).
