About CFS file sets

A file set is an indivisible set of files that are all delivered together. They can consist of multiple files that make up one large file or a grouping of files that represent related content. A file set can also contain a single file.

Publishers decide the appropriate organization of their file sets.
They are responsible for creating file sets into packages. A Publisher can have multiple file sets in a bucket.

Once all files have been added to the file set and are ready for download, the Publisher updates the file set status to READY. This enables the Publisher to control the release of their files and sets expectations for when the files will be available to Subscribers. File sets with a READY status cannot be updated or modified. So, updates must be published as a new file set.

To access a file set, Subscribers must have access to the bucket in which the file set resides and have all the claims associated with the file set.
