From the Workflow >Submission panel, the editor clicks Upload File.
The editor ensures that the top drop-down menu reads "This is not a revision of an existing file" and uses the lower drop-down to select the type of submission component.
The editor clicks Upload File and selects the desired file from the local drive. This will be a Word document when the chapter contains no ancillary materials. If the chapter includes additional photos, tables, etc., these should be bundled together in a single zip archive prior to upload.
The editor clicks Continue.
On the Review Details screen, the editor ensures that the file name follows the format format "AUTHOR_SHORTTITLE", where 'AUTHOR' is the author's surname (with additional authors hyphenated behind) and 'SHORTTITLE' is a one- or two-word abbreviation of the title, and clicks Continue.
On the Confirm screen, the editor clicks Complete.
The editor clicks OK; the new file has now been added.
