· When you tick this option the 'Page Filename' will be automatically changed to 'index.html'.
· Only the 'index.html' file will be uploaded to the directory level above the '/acatalog' directory. All other brochure pages, including images, will be uploaded to '/acatalog' directory.
· If you are running in pre-configured mode (e.g. a trial version of Actinic hosted with Actinic Software Ltd. - see Pre-configured (Trial) Copies of Actinic) then there is no '/acatalog' directory on your web site. This means that all the files will be uploaded to the same directory regardless of the status of this checkbox.
