The following video shows the process of adding and replacing documents
Replace a document
When uploading a new revision of a document, it is best practice to replace the file to ensure existing links go to the correct location.
To replace a document:
- in the upper admin bar select 'Media'
- use the filter that appears to find your document, setting 'Type' to 'Document' may be useful here
- click the 'Edit' button in the far right column
- from within the edit screen look for the 'Replace file' section
- choose the replacement file, then save
Add a new document or link to an existing document
* Note that it is possible to add pdfs to VIU websites, whenever possible use a webpage to instead of a pdf for the following reasons:
- pdfs are not generally accessible and can be difficult to navigate, especially on a phone
- creating an accessible pdf is a intensive process
- webpages are easy to update and do not require managing source material, recreating, and uploading like a pdf
To add a new document:
- prepare the file on the local file system and refer to document naming conventions as needed
- in the upper admin bar select Media > Add media > Document
- choose the file and save
- navigate to the page you would like to add the document and edit the page
- enter text that will become the link to the file
- select the text and click the link icon
- start typing the file name of the document and find it in the dropdown (alternatively you can paste a link to the file here)
- save the page
