Upload a file (WCMS 2)

How to upload a file

 

  1. From the Administration bar, select My Workbench.

  2. Select Create/Manage Content and select the content type you wish to add the file (like Web Page).

  3. In the body, click on where you want to upload the file.

    Note: the file will be inserted at cursor point.

  4. Scroll down to Upload a File and select Choose a File.


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

 

  1. 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.

  2. Add description (link text) and click Insert.

     

    Notes:

    • When linking text that opens as a Word.doc, PDF, etc., ensure that the document descriptor is also linked.

    • Link to original source as often as possible.

 

  1. Click Save.

  2. Change Moderate state to Published and click Apply.
