SUMMARY
This article describes some considerations that apply when you store Visio drawings that are saved as Web pages in the document library of a Windows SharePoint Services Web site. It contains information about how to upload a Visio drawing that is saved as a Web page to a document library, and also discusses using the document versioning feature in Windows SharePoint Services with Visio drawings that are saved as Web pages.



Upload Visio Drawings That Are Saved As Web Pages
When you save a Visio drawing as a Web page, you must use the Upload Multiple Files option to upload the Web page to the document library of a Windows SharePoint Services Web site. By doing so, you make sure that the HTML file and all other files that are associated with the Web page are uploaded to the document library.

If you do not use the Upload Multiple Files option, only the main HTML file of the Web page is uploaded to the document library. The thicket, or folder that contains graphics files and other files that are associated with the Web page is not uploaded to the document library. As a result, you receive the following error message in your Web browser window when you try to view the Web page in the document library:

The page cannot be found

HTTP 404 - File not found

To use the Upload Multiple Files option to upload a Visio drawing that is saved as a Web page to a document library in Windows SharePoint Services, follow these steps:
 * 1) In the document library of the Windows SharePoint Services Web site, click Upload Document.
 * 2) On the   Document Library: Upload Document page, click Upload Multiple Files.
 * 3) In the left pane, locate, and then click the folder that contains the main HTML file of the Visio drawing that you saved as a Web page.
 * 4) In the right pane, click to select the check box that is next to the HTML file of the Web page.
 * 5) Click Save and Close.
 * 6) Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the upload operation.

Document Versioning
When versioning is enabled for a document library in Windows SharePoint Services, versions are automatically created when you update a document in a document library. Versions are created in the following situations:
 * You check out a document, make changes to it, and check in the document.
 * You open a document, make changes to it, and then save the document for the first time.

Note If you save the document again without closing it, a new version is not created. However, if you quit the program that you are using to edit the file, and then open and save the document again, a new version is created.
 * You restore an older version of a file (and do not check it out).
 * You upload a document with the same name that already exists in the document library.

This feature does not apply to the files that are stored in the thicket. The document versioning feature in Windows SharePoint Services only applies to the main HTML file of the Web page when you save a Visio drawing as a Web page and upload it to the document library.



MORE INFORMATION
When you save a drawing as a Web page, several files are created and saved in the location that you specify. Except for the main HTML file, all the files are stored in a folder that uses the same name of the HTML file for the Web page. For example, if the Web page is named Drawing1.htm, the folder is named Drawing1_files. The files that are created include:
 * The main HTML file of the Web page. By default, this file uses an .htm extension and uses the same name as your Visio drawing.
 * A graphics file for the Visio drawing.
 * Other files that are used to support the publishing options that you specified when you saved the Web page. These file include any of the following:
 * Graphics files (.gif)
 * Style sheet files (.css)
 * Script files (.js)
 * Data files (.xml)
