6. If you are adding the document to an enhanced folder, you have the following two options:
   • If you want to add the document to the folder but do not want to publish it yet, select Check in the document. If you check in the document, authors in the folder can view and edit it. The document will not appear in search results or portal site areas until it is published.
   • If you want to publish the document after adding it, select Publish the document. If you publish the document, readers can see it immediately, unless the coordinator has configured an approval process for the folder where the document resides. If the coordinator has configured an approval process, the document must be approved before readers can view it.

9. Click OK.

SharePoint Portal Server adds the new document to the folder you have selected. If the target folder is a standard folder, the document is available immediately for users to search for and view in the document library on the portal site.
