How to upload files

Inside your files folder, click the 'Upload' button in the top right of the CMS:
upload

From here, you can either:

  • Click and drag your file onto the 'Add' button.
  • Click the 'Add' button to search for the file.
    add

Once your file has been selected, click 'Start Upload'.upload

Your file is now living in the CMS, but not live.

From here, you can publish the file to webdev and production:

publish

Once your file is live, you can create a hyper link on your page and link to the file. Once your file is linked and your page is published, you should be able to click on the new link to open your file.

Note: If you link to a file, ALWAYS make it open in a new window/tab.

Acceptable Formats

In your files folder only upload the following:

  • pdf
  • xls/csv (Excel formats)
  • doc/docx

In your images folder only upload:

  • jpg/jpeg
  • png (try to avoid pngs if you don't need transparent images since pngs are heavier in file size)

Do not upload:

  • html/htm, asp, aspx (webpages- contact if needed)
  • txt, odt, wpd (use word for text files)
  • mp4, avi, mov, wmv, swf (all video formats should be uploaded to youtube instead)
  • mp3, wav (all audio formats- contact if needed)
  • bmp, tiff, psd (these are not used for web images)
  • gif (gifs are very heavy and are for animated images, convert your gif to jpg)
