2. Open the Navigator , then select Add > Add Linked File.
3. Select the repository that contains the file you want to link to. If you select a different repository, you will need to sign in to access the file.
4. To narrow your options, choose Type, then select the file types to show.
5. Select a file.
6. Select Open. Workspace creates a link to the file’s current repository location and adds the link to the Navigator.

Add a linked file from your computer

When you choose a local file on your computer, Workspace uploads a copy of the file to the repository where your project is saved and creates a link to its new location.

1. Sign in to a repository and ensure that autosave is enabled.
2. Open the Navigator , then select Add > Add Linked File.
3. Select Open Local File.
4. Select a file.
5. Select Open. Workspace uploads a copy of the file to the repository where your project is saved and creates a link to its new location.

After you add a linked file, you can open and edit it from your Workspace project. Editing linked files depends on the file type and user permissions.
