Uploading a File into the Notebook
You can upload files from your local machine into the notebook. Once uploaded, the file appears as a link in the notebook. If you want to upload a document into Windchill with a greater range of functionality, see Documents in Windchill.

Notebooks are not designed for storing sensitive files directly. When you upload a file to a notebook, the system creates a bookmark, not a secure storage location.
• Bookmarks do not enforce access control.
• Access permissions apply only to the underlying Windchill objects (such as documents), not to the bookmark itself.

If you need to share a file with controlled access, follow these steps:
1. Attach the file to a Windchill document.
2. Set or verify the appropriate access permissions for the document.
