File Details NOTE: We removed the ability to edit short names while adding a file, since users have problems remembering that the extension has to be included. And they are very surprised when the file they uploaded has a different file name. Removing this will give them a sensible default. You can still rename the Short name from the Folder Contents. If you want to re-enable short names for files for your site, remove the tal:optional start/end tags and this text.
