Uploading a File (PDF, doc, etc)

Uploading a File

You can upload any type of file you wish. If you want to make it available for download, you need to upload it to our system.

To do this, use the New menu, choose Default, and then File.

At this point you can click “Choose File”, or just drag it over from your desktop.

The “system name” will be filled in with your file’s name once you’ve picked it. Usually this is fine, but you can change it if you’d like.

Note what the “Parent Folder” is. Usually you’ll want this to be the “Documents” folder, wherever you are working. Choose a different parent folder if you need to. This is where your new file will be stored.

Warning: It may not seem like a big deal now, but in a year or two, you’ll be glad you kept things organized. Start right now.

Don’t forget to click “Submit” to save the file. 

Once your file is saved, it is now in the CMS system and you can add a link to it. Remember that you will need to Publish it to make it live on the web.
