# File management

During the configuration of ingestion controls, preprocessing actions or metadata filters, the related files have to be loaded. From this section, the following files loaded into the system can be managed:

* **Ingestion controls:** executable and configuration files.
* **Preprocessing actions:**  executable and configuration files.
* **Metadata filters**: executable and configuration files.
* **Metadata filters XSLT/XML**: metadata parsing files.

**Note:** use this section under the monitoring of your **LIBSAFE** consultant**.**
{% endhint %}

In the main ***File management*** screen, there is a list of all the files included in the different types permitted. Name, description, date of creation and links for editing, unloading, deletion and access to file detail of each one is shown.

New, needed files can be loaded, or if a specific file has been modified it can be replaced (deleting and then loading).

When loading the files, the type of file to be loaded onto the system has to be selected (one of the four types mentioned initially). Every file can have its own description. **LIBSAFE** allows for the addition of files by means of an easy drag & drop system, whereby it only takes dragging and dropping the required files, or using the ***Drag or select files here*** link, which will open a window to select Windows files

Only the description can be modified when editing a file.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** there is a limit regarding the number of files and the total size of them. **LIBSAFE** will consult the internal configuration of the server and apply set guidelines. It will be the system administrators’ responsibility to configure said server parameters.
