Upload Files to Heretto CCMS
You can upload various files types to Heretto CCMS, including DITA files, images, configuration files, and other allowed files.
For more information about files you can upload to Heretto CCMS, see What file types can I upload to Heretto CCMS?.
Ensure that the document type (DOCTYPE) declarations in your DITA files do not contain the DITA version number (1.1, 1.2, or 1.3). Otherwise your files will be invalid after upload. When a version number is not included in the DOCTYPE declaration, Heretto CCMS defaults to the latest DITA version.
An example of a DOCTYPE declaration with a DITA version number (1.3):
<!DOCTYPE concept PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA 1.3 Concept//EN" "concept.dtd">An example of a DOCTYPE declaration without a DITA version number:
<!DOCTYPE concept PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Concept//EN" "concept.dtd">
stops the upload process and prevents files form being saved in the CCMS.

Confirm with your CSM that this feature is enabled in your CCMS.
