Problem summary


    

  • No additional information is available.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • A fix is available or will be available that ensures documents
uploaded by using the document controls in the Content
Management toolkit are limited to 100 MB and SVG files can no
longer be viewed directly in the browser but must be downloaded.

While support for the restriction of document uploads previously
existed in the product, the default configuration was set to
prevent viewing text or HTML content directly in the browser.
This fix further expands on the default restrictions. If you
have an environment configured with additional document
restrictions, they still apply and the default will not take
effect. However, if you have not customized the document
restrictions, the newly expanded set of default restrictions
will take effect.

For more information about how to work with document
restrictions, see the following content:
