How to Upload a Document

Do you have an document you would like to use on your website but don't know how to add it? Well in this article we'll show you how to upload an document, such as a PDF, to the WEO Platform. For placing a document, see the article on How to Place a Document on a Webpage.

1. Login to the WEO Platform. If you've already logged in and navigated away from the Main Page, navigate back to the Main Page.

2. Next, prepare your document for upload. The platform will only accept document files with dashes (-) between characters. If you have blank spaces between characters, the platform will automatically insert dashes to fill the blank spaces. It is recommended that you name your document file based on the relevant content topic. In our example case, the document is of the old WEO Media User Guide, so we'll rename it WEO-Media-User-Guide-Update-04-2019.

3. Now that your file is prepared for upload, from the Main Page, select the Website icon button.

3. The View & Edit Website page will load. Scroll down to the Documents section and click the Upload New Document button. 

4. The Upload Client Document page will load. You can either click on the Choose File button next to "Document to Upload:" and select a document on your machine or you can drag and drop the document file onto the Choose File button. In the Document Information section, fill out the document name, which in our example case is simply User Guide. Then fill out any related keywords, in this example we have used User Guide, PDF. For the Source Information section, just leave as My own document / material unless you have taken the document from somewhere else. After you have chosen a file and it is ready for upload, the name of the file will display next to the Choose File button.

5. To upload the document file to the Platform, scroll down and click the Upload File button.

6. A successful document upload will display in black lettering. If there was an error with the file name, it will display in red lettering.

7. That's it, you can use your document in the Platform, so make sure to keep the file name handy somewhere. For how to place the document see the article How to Place a Document on a Webpage.

8. If you have another file to upload, click on the Upload Another Document button. If not, you can navigate back to the Main Page to continue working in the Platform.
