In the action box on the details screen of the Content Manager, the default section that appears, when applicable, allows you to Create new files. You are presented with a list of the document types you can create under the currently highlighted node. In order to create a file in a deeply nested directory, you would normally navigate to and highlight that directory first.




The list contains both XML document types and resource types that can be created in the current context. These various document types are labeled according to the specific project definition; the image above shows document types used for the HyperContent web site. You will see a list specific to the project you are working on; talk to your project administrator for details about the document types used in your project.

If there are several possible paths at which you might create a certain file type, you will see a drop-down list reflecting the options; you may also see a listing "Other (open prompt)".  Selecting this option and/or clicking the New button will prompt you to enter a name for the new directory or file you are creating.  For resource files, you may also be presented with a dropdown box you can use to select from one of several configured file types, such as GIF or JPEG when creating an image.

Once you click new, and fill in the prompt if required, you will either get an error if illegal characters were entered in the prompt, or be taken directly to the default editor screen for that file, which is both file type and project specific.  Often, the default editor will be the Core Metadata editor.
