    Component Upload

    File Upload: upload your component (.zip, .nupkg, .xaml) here. The maximum file size is 50MB. You can also have an Embed Link in order to add the links for documentation stored in external storage systems like SharePoint. This can help limit access to certain documentation.

    Source Code: upload the source code (.zip, .xaml) here. In case you upload a Snippet or a Workflow Template, attach the same file from the "File Upload" section. The maximum file size is 50MB. You can also add a link to the component file.

    Version: Start with version 0.0. Every change made before publishing the Content

    increases the decimal index.

    Example: when the first or a new version of the Content is published it

    changes the version to 1.0.

    Release Notes: Fill in this section with info about each new version.



    Note: Remember to always add or link the component package and the source code in the last section of the form named Component Upload.


  3. To complete the component upload process and trigger the curation process, click Submit.
