Upload a File
Files appear below the last paragraph on the site page as a list of links to documents.
- You may upload an unlimited number of files.
- The maximum size for each file is 256 MB.
- The allowed file types: pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, csv, txt, rtf, zip, ppt, pptx, xml, kmz and mp3.
- A best practice for file types is to use pdf format instead of Microsoft Office formats because not all users may have access to Microsoft Office.
You may add files in two ways: uploaded directly and selected from the media library.
