Frequently Asked Questions

How do I place an asset/document on a page?

  1. If the asset is not already there, add it to your site (instructions).
  2. Go to Pages in the Reason navigation, and click on Edit next to the page in question.
  3. Now there are two ways to link to the asset:
    • The easy way:
      1. In the yellow editing menu, click Make Links to Assets.
      2. Scroll down or use the Filters to find the asset you want to appear on the page, and click Select next to that asset.
      3. Repeat as necessary, and then click Finish in the editing menu.
      4. Now the document(s) will appear on the right side of the page in a list entitled "Related Documents".
    • The slightly more difficult way:
      1. Scroll down to the content area, and type in the name of the PDF in an appropriate place on the page.
      2. Select that text, and click on the Insert Link to Asset button, which looks like a little PDF file.
      3. In the popup window which appears, choose the asset and click "OK".
      4. Repeat as necessary, and then save your changes by clicking Save and Continue Editing.
      5. You might want to check your changes in another browser window before finishing, to make sure everything is working correctly.
      6. Click on Finish in the yellow editing menu.
