How do I add a new part to Documoto?

A part is added to Documoto through a page. In other words, publishers cannot create or add parts to the Documoto database outside of the context of a page. Below are a few options to add a new part to Documoto.

Create a New Page

If you do not have an existing page in Documoto that the new part number applies to, create a new page to add the part to. For more information on creating pages, please watch this video: How to Create a New Interactive Parts Page

Open an Existing Page

If you already have an existing page in Documoto that needs a new part added, refer to: How do I open a page to edit a BOM or diagram?

Creating New Parts in DocuStudio

1. With a page open in DocuStudio, use the Insert Row button to the left of the parts list
2. 
3. This will create a new blank row at the bottom of the parts list
4. Fill it out with an Item Number (if applicable), Part Number, Part Description, Quantity, and any Tags using the gear on the right of the row
5. 
6. 
7. Save the PLZ from the ‘File’ tab on the top left of Docustudio
8. Then, go to the ‘Publish’ tab and click ‘Upload’ to publish the PLZ to Documoto
9. After the PLZ has successfully published, the page will be available in the Publisher module to be added to a book (if it not yet already).

Note: it can take up to a few minutes for the page to index 
and the new part number and information to become available in 
the Library.
