How to: organize your files in Mahara

After you log into Mahara, click Content found in the green navigation.

Select Files in the grey navigation bar located right below. To keep yourself sane while using Mahara, it is
highly recommended that you keep your files organized and easy to find. I recommend creating a new file for
each unit you will need to make a Mahara page for. Set
your files up like so:
Photo I - 1: Unit Name
Photo II - 2. Unit Name
Photo III - 3. Unit Name
The number designate what year in Photography you
are as you will be using the same Mahara account for
every year you continue on.
To create a new file, write your file name and select the
Create Folder button.
Once youve created enough folders, your Content/File
page will look something similar to this:

Remember to upload all images, contact sheets, etc.


into the corresponding unit folder! This will make
your content easier to find when its time to build
your Mahara Page for each unit. To upload content
in the folder, go to Content > Files > #. Unit Name
and either drag and drop the file into the box or use
the Browse button.
DO NOT UPLOAD YOUR FILES WHILE MAKING
YOUR PAGE, UPLOAD YOU FILES TO YOUR UNIT
FOLDER BEFORE MAKING YOUR PAGE!
