Uploading the Content Map Files for other users

While a Content Map has now been created on WikiVet, it is static and will become out of date as users add more pages to a particular section or change a pages name. It is thus very important to upload the Content Map files onto WikiVet so other users can update you Content Map. Follow the steps below to do this:

1. Go to the directory on your hard drive where all the CMap files are stored that are produced by CMapTools
   • It is usually in 'My Documents'/'Documents' and then 'My CMaps'
2. In the 'My CMaps' folder there will be other folders that are named after the Content Maps you have produced
3. Select the Content Map folder that you wish to uplaod to WikiVet and right click it
4. On the menu select 'Send To' and 'Compressed (zipped) Folder'
   • The computer will then created a compressed folder (.zip file) in the 'My Cmaps' folder
5. Return to WikiVet and go to the upload file page (here)
6. Select the compressed folder (.zip file) that you have created for uploading by clicking the 'Browse' button
   • Don't modify the 'Destination filename'
   • In the summary box add [[Category:Content Maps Files]]
   • Click 'Upload'
