+h2(#upload-using-workbench). Upload using Workbench
+
+To upload using Workbench, first identify the project to upload the files into. This is done by browsing your projects in the navigation menu on the left, or to search for the project using the search field on the top.
+
+Having navigated to the project, click on the <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">+ NEW</span> button in the top-left corner. In the pop-up menu, select the item *New collection*.

+
+In the dialog box that follows, you will be prompted to create a new collection in your chosen project. Here, the *Collection Name* field is required. After entering the name for this new collection (and optionally other fields), you have the choice to create it with new file updates -- by drag-and-drop into the *Files* area or with the traditional file-upload dialog opened by your browser.

+
+You can then click on the <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">CREATE A COLLECTION</span> button and proceed to the newly-created collection's page. If you don't upload any data when creating the collection, the new collection will be empty, and you can upload files into it later.

+
+In the <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">FILES</span> panel, there is a button labeled <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">UPLOAD DATA</span>. Click on it, and you will be prompted to upload files by drag-and-drop or the file-selection dialog opened by your browser.
+
+The files you choose to upload will then be displayed, and you can review them before clicking on the <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">UPLOAD DATA</span> button to initiate the actual file transfer.
+
+<figure>!{width: 100%;}{{ site.baseurl }}/images/upload-data-prompt-with-files-wb2.png!<figcaption>_Selecting the files to upload_</figcaption></figure>
+
+Once the file upload completes, you will be notified by a message, and the files will appear under the <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">FILES</span> panel shortly.
+
+<figure>!{width: 100%;}{{ site.baseurl }}/images/upload-data-progress-wb2.png!<figcaption>_Upload status being displayed, with the files to appear shortly_</figcaption></figure>
+
+*Note:* If you leave the collection page during the upload, the upload process will be aborted and you will need to upload the files again.
+
+*Note:* You can also use the <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">UPLOAD DATA</span> button to add additional files to an existing collection.
