Add a file
Type text you want to use to link to the file first. Highlight the text then click the file button in the toolbar.
Your computer's standard file browser will open, and you can select the file you want to upload. This instantly uploads the file to the website, attaches it to the current page, and creates a link to that file.
Note: you MUST click Save at the bottom of your page to permanently save your uploaded file.
Accessibility best practice
Include the file extension in the text of the file link so visitors will know they are about to access a file.
Example: Download the conference program (PDF).
Adding a file without link text
You are not required to type out link text first. If you do not, the name of the file will become the link text.
Editing file link text
You can edit the link text by placing your cursor in the link text and making changes. However if you remove all of the link text and have not saved the page, you will have to upload the file again.
Remove link to the file
Place the cursor in the link text to open the link properties box. Click the unlink button to remove the link. You can also just remove the text with the backspace or delete keys.
Note: Removing the link in this way does not necessarily remove the file from the page. Learn about the Files List below.
Files List
A list of files used in a particular page* (see note below) is available at the bottom of that page's edit form, if there are files added to that page. The files list shows you if the file is on any other pages, other information about the file, and a link to replace the file.
Replace an existing file
In the files list, click the 'Replace' link and upload a new version of the file. It must be the same file type as the original file. After the file is replaced, the file name will stay the same, but the file will be the updated version. This change will automatically affect any other places the file is used.
Permanently delete a file
You can also use the files list to permanently delete a file everywhere it is used.
Click the arrow next to the Replace dropdown and then click Delete. Note that any links to the file will now be broken (since the file will no longer exist) so be sure to remove all links to a file before deleting it.
Using the same file in multiple places
How to use the same file in multiple places without creating extra copies.
"Pages" is used here to indicate any type of content where a file can be added via the editor. So this would include other content types like news articles, people profiles, blog posts, etc. Links to existing files may be added to Text Cards and Link Cards, but those cards do not have a files list, and those Cards may not be included in the list of places a file is used.
