5. In the Zip Selection area, click Browse to select the Zip file from your computer to be uploaded and extracted.
6. After selecting the zip file, click the Upload button.
   
   
7. The next screen will show you a review of files to be uploaded.  You can remove individual files to be uploaded by hovering over the file with your mouse and selecting the red minus sign.
   
   
8. You can also change the name of a file to be uploaded by clicking on the name of the file and typing the new name. 
   Remember:  All uploaded files must follow the naming standards throughout OU Campus - which means no capital letters, spaces or special characters (other than dashes and underscores)
9. Click the Extract button to upload the files.
   
   
10. The uploaded files will now appear in your folder.
