New File Uploads

When something is updated or uploaded in a book, the particular book will not be Auto-Distributed. So, when you update the existing file of a book, the book will be transferred to the New File Uploads screen. Distribution of File updated books have to be done manually.

The New File Uploads screen has a Filter Bar with which you can sort the books by Channel, Title, or Author.
