How to Upload a Document to Multiple Document Libraries Simultaneously

This might be a known issue and thee might be so many solutions to resolve this, but my issue is resolved using the method below, so I am posting this article.

· Let’s say we have to upload Documents to Test1 (Source Doc Lib) and Test2 (Destination Doc Lib)Document Library simultaneously

· We can achieve this task by creating SP Designer conditional workflow

· Refer following figure.

· Open SharePoint Designer 2007 and then click on New > Workflow

· On the Define your new workflow stage provide a meaningful name and select a startup type as per

your requirement.

· Under that box you will get option to select which on which list you want to enable that workflow.

· Click Next.

· It will prompt you the Conditions and Actions page

· In Condition select – Modified by specific person condition

· Then click on specific person label and it will open option as shown in following figure

· Select User who created current item option and add it to Selected Users box

· Reason behind selecting this option is when any user uploads a document to that specific Doc Lib it will be automatically updated to destination Doc Lib

· Then click on Actions button which will give you below option

· Select Copy List Item option and then select copy item in Test1 (Source Doc Lib) to Test2 (Destination Doc Lib)

· Click finish, which will finish setup of workflow on Doc Lib Test1

· Now go to Test1 (Source Doc Lib) and upload a document.

· In that Test1 you will see a column with the same name with which you have created a workflow, and it will give you in progress status.

· Just go to Test2 (Destination Doc Lib) and you will get the same document listed over there.

· And when you come back to Test1, In progress status will be over and it will give you Completed status.

Attention: One more thing I would like to specify at the end, if you have selected Manual start then you have to manually start the workflow associated on that Doc Lib.
