Imanage uploading a file the second time

There is something that is very annoying with iManage concerning uploading documents

If you upload a document to a folder twice you will get 2 different documents , not a choice for overwriting or a new version

This is true if you drag and drop or use file upload

To get a new version you need to either

Or edit the doc and save as new version in imanage word plugin

This, BTW, is the default behavior in desk site, but you can change that in the registry

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Interwoven\WorkSite\8.0\Common\Advanced
  Options
  Set the following DWORD value:
  Name: Default SaveAs Option
  Values:
  1 – The New Document option is selected by default.
  2 – The Replace Original option is selected by default.
  3 – The New Version option is selected by default.

In desk site there is a different problem in that when you upload a doc you have to fill the author (it’s not set  from the user who’s logged in) and it doesn’t figure out the class

In this instance the web is better
