A dossier is similar to a regular computer folder, with a few key differences. Just like a folder, you can always find a dossier's contents—say, an image and some copy in an [[article]]—within that dossier. At the same time, though, a designer can find that image in his or her [[inbox]] for color correction and an editor will find the article ready for editing in his or her [[inbox]].

The system is basically passing around links to the content, so it can appear to be in multiple places at once. Whenever you need it, though, and regardless of who is working on it, you will always find the most current version of any file in the dossier.

Dossiers have the following icon in [[Content Station]] and [[Smart Connection]]: [[File:dossier.png]]

All stories, even stories that will only run online, need to be in a dossier because the dossier controls where stories are published.

==Creating a dossier==
Under normal circumstances, the managing editors will create the dossiers for an issue.

The dossier template for each brand can be found as an [[application]] on the Content Station home screen. Simply double-click that icon to create a new dossier.

Our naming convention for dossiers is as follows:

First letter of brand and date code for an issue, followed by an underscore, followed by the name of the section

I.e., H1510_products, P1601_smallplates, M1601_issues2

==Renaming dossiers==
While we actively discourage renaming folders in [[Elvis]], renaming dossiers in Enterprise isn't as big a deal. Right-click on the dossier and select "Properties" to change the name of a dossier.

==Dossier workflow==
Most dossiers will have the "active" [[find out what all those statuses mean|status]] for most of their editorial lifespans.
