Upload a file

  1. From the administration bar, select Workbench, and then select My Dashboard.

  2. Under Media, select Add next to File.

  3. Add a Name.

    1. Note: By default, the original file name will appear as the display text.

  4. There are three ways to add your file:

    • Reference existing: Select a file that has already been uploaded to your site from the list on this tab. This prevents numerous copies of the same file from being uploaded and stored.

    • Upload: Find a file using the file browser to upload from your computer.

    • Remote URL: Enter the remote URL of the file you would like to reference. 

  5. Select Save.

Best practices: Avoid uploading numerous copies of the same file by searching for the file beforehand if you are unsure if it already exists on the website.
