+====== How to Upload Slides ======
 There are several options available for users to upload slides from local disks to the My Pathomation cloud.
-**1. The blue upload button**
+**Important Note:** Some whole slide image types have a complex folder structure (e.g. .mrxs, .isyntax,…) which require the full folder context to be read correctly. If you're working with these filetypes proceed straight to heading #2
-If you only have one or a few slides to upload, using the blue upload button is the easiest way to get started.
-{{ :upload_button_header.png?600 |}}
+**1. The Drop Zone**
-This upload functionality lets you drag and drop images from your local folders or click and navigate to select an image in your local folders.
+This will allow you to drag and drop images from your local folders.(1)\\
-{{ :upload_slide_modal.jpg?400 |}}
+**2. The Blue Upload Button**
-A limitation of this method is that some whole slide image types have a complex folder structure (.mrxs, .isyntax,...) and are not compatible with the drag and drop approach. For these image types we recommend to use the transfer function described in point 2.
+The blue upload button (2) opens a dropdown menu in which you can select whether you’d like to upload files or whole folders (3)\\
-**2. the my pc / my Pathomation transfer function**
-My Pathomation also works as a viewer for local images. You can see the local folder structure in the 'my pc' tab and open all the images stored on your hard disk or USB memories. The 'my pc' tab also allows to select images and transfer them to the 'my pathomation' cloud storage.
+{{ :How to upload slides_2_blue upload and drop box.png |}}
+The whole folder upload (3) is necessary for multi-file formats including (but not limited to): .VSI .mrxs .dzi and .isyntax.\\
+A couple of good indications if your filetype is multi-file:
+  * It has a stacked folder - the folder has the same name as the scan, and there are several files in the folder which have the same tissue sample on.
+  * There will be several filetypes in the same folder.

-**3. the upload function in PMA.start**
+**3. The Local / Cloud Browser**
-To explore this function we refer to the PMA.start wiki page https://docs.pathomation.com/pma.start/doku.php?id=upload
+My Pathomation also works as a viewer for local images with the addition of PMA.start. If you have not already done so, you can download this here https://free.pathomation.com/ .
+Once installed, you can see the local folder structure in the 'Local' tab and open all the images stored on your hard drive(s) or USB storage. The 'Local' tab also allows you to select images and upload them to your cloud storage in the 'Cloud' tab.
