Overview

Before you start

Before you add files in your configuration, ensure:

• You have access to the NGINX One Console.
• NGINX instances are properly registered with NGINX One Console

Important considerations

If your instance is a member of a Config Sync Group, changes that you make may be synchronized to other instances in that group. For more information, see how you can [Manage Config Sync Groups]({{< ref "/nginx-one/how-to/config-sync-groups/manage-config-sync-groups.md" >}}).

Add a file

You can use the NGINX One Console to add a file to a specific instance. To do so:

1. Select the instance to manage.

2. Select the Configuration tab.
