How to link a file to your website

In this article, we'll guide you through the process of linking to your files contained in your file store.

Adding a link to a file within your text content:

  1. Navigate to the 'File store'.
  2. Find the file you wish to link to. Each file has a file id represented by numbers e.g. '1234'.
  3. Copy the file id.
  4. Navigate to the location where you want to link the file, such as within a page's content or a product's description.
  5. Add a link containing the file id using the format [Text!fileid!]. 'Text' is the sentence or word to be displayed instead of the link numbers. E.g. [Find more about our products1234] which will appear as Find more about our products on your website. Visitors will now have access to the file by clicking on the link.

Adding a button page element:

  1. You can link to a file in your file store from a button page element.
  2. Go to the page where you want to add the file link.
  3. Add a new page section element of the type 'Button'

  5. Update the button as required.
  6. Choose 'link to a file' and select the file you want the button to link to, then click 'Update'. Only files uploaded to the file store will appear in this list.
