The Link content type can be used to display a page of relevant links.

  3. Add a Title (required).

  4. Add the URL for the link (required).

  5. Add a Description of the link.

  6. Click Upload or drag and drop files into the shaded box. Hover your mouse above the question mark icon to see the allowed file extensions, as well as the maximum allowed file size.
