# Add recordings to an AFU queue

*Applies to: Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, Pearl Nexus, Pearl Nano*

You can add previously recorded files to an AFU queue using the Admin panel. Before you can add a previously recorded file, the channel must be enabled for AFU and at least one new recording must have been queued.

**Add an existing recording to an AFU queue using the Admin panel**

- Log in to the Admin panel as **admin** or **operator**.
- Find the recordings by channel or by recorder and select the files you want to add to the AFU queue.
- Select **Add Selected to Automatic file upload**.

**Device differences**

- **Pearl-2:** Uses the term "multi-track recorder" — find the recordings by channel or by multi-track recorder.
- **Pearl Nano:** Has only one channel and no recorder concept — find the recordings by channel only.
