Before being able to use Pencil Files, you need to be able to locate them. Pencil Files can be found by clicking the "Files" button on the left-hand side of your screen when you first log into Spaces.

Now that you have located Pencil Files, click the blue "Upload" button in the upper right corner to open up the upload menu.

From there a pop-up will open, and you can either drag and drop your file, or click the blue "Browse files" button to browse all available files on your computer.

Once you've selected the file you want to upload, click the blue "Next" button in the bottom right corner of the upload menu.

This will upload the file, which will be confirmed by a pop-up on the bottom right-hand side of your screen.

To organize your files, you can switch between line view and grid view using the toggle in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Line view lists out the files in a manner similar to that of the files app on Windows computers, whereas grid view displays files in a manner similar to Google Drive.

To search your files by name, you can use the search bar on the upper left-hand side of your screen.

You can also use the "Filters" button to search files based on the course with which they are associated, the type of file, and the person who uploaded the file.

To create a folder, click on the "Create Folder" icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.

From there, name your folder and click the blue "Create" button.

To add a file to a folder, hover over the file in line view and click the grey square to the left of the file name. Then, drag it to the folder to which you wish to add it.

In grid view, the same square will appear in the upper left-hand corner of the file image.
