Do you want to upload a completely new document? Go to the
corresponding folder (e. g. Writer > To Be Updated to LO3.4). In the
green bar above the list with the files there is a menu entry called
"Add new..." with a arrow pointing downwards on its right side. Click
on this entry and chose then "Document". Give a name, enter a short
description, browse to the correct file on your computer and when
everything is filled in to your satisfaction click on "Save". That's
all.

You go into the folder, click on the document name that you want to
edit. In the green menu bar above there is a menu entry called
"Actions". Click here and select "Check out". This will automatically
create a "working copy" (and you will see a double entry for this
chapter!) The original entry gets an extra banner, saying that XYZ has
created a working copy on this date... 

Don't forget to download the chapter. :)

No, it's not. People asking how to do things gives us the chance to
improve our descriptions. :) 
I hope my instructions are clear.
