    There are four ways to upload a file to your Body or Sidebar:

    • Reference Existing: Find a file that has already been uploaded to your site; prevents numerous copies of the same file from being uploaded and stored.

    • Upload: Searches local files (on your computer).

    • File browser: Similar to Reference Existing in that the file has already been uploaded to your site.

    • Remote URL: Will copy a file from a web server to the WCMS web server using it's URL.

      Note: All URLs default to lowercase formatting regardless of file name formatting.
