We've recently migrated all our technical documents from source control to SharePoint. Previously, you'd create a new document in the correct location and check it in... on your local machine the file always lived in that same folder. Now, it's all done magically via the browser, you click a link and Word/Excel opens the file, you can edit/save it straight into the cloud or whatever.
But when you want to create a new document, is there some neat way to do it? Typically if I am working on a proposal there will be the main doc and maybe linked things like design, estimates, diagrams, etc. Before I'd have a new subfolder and all this would get checked in in one go. Now I end up creating a folder "Proposal 123" putting all the files in, then one by one uploading to Sharepoint. As soon as they're checked in initially, I delete my local copy (or probably forget) to avoid a duplicate.
It seems a big step backwards which makes me think I am probably doing it wrong - never had much truck with SharePoint before. We use on-premises, no cloud, which seems to make a lot of modern functionality struggle.
Any tips on what I should do?
