Changing Order of Uploaded Documents
Updated onArticleOne of the quirks of the Interfolio platform where faculty members upload their documents for evaluations is that the files are uploaded to the platform by File Size NOT File Name. Often times resulting in documents that are out of the order desired by the faculty member.
Which is why it is recommended that faculty members upload documents in small batches, when more than one document is required in an any given review packet section. Smaller batches makes it easier to rearrange document order.
Documents uploaded by the faculty member to an active review packet can be rearranged one of two ways, either individually or in groups.
