This guide will cover the document manager and the various ways you can use Catapult to share documents with your viewers.

Instructions

1. In order to be able to add a document to your website, you’ll first have to upload it in Catapult using the 'Documents' feature on the top left corner of the screen. You can then begin to add files into the left panel by choosing the 'Upload' button which will then open up the 'File Manager'. Pressing the 'Upload' button within the 'File Manager' window will prompt you to chose your files. Most people will upload PDFs or docx files, however you can use any file type you would like as long as the file is 100 megabytes per document or less. To save the files you have just uploaded, simply press the green save button.

2. Depending on which folder you had previously selected before uploading your files, the files in your queue should all be in that folder. From here you can reorganize or rename the files or folders without creating any broken links. Catapult will automatically fix the links unless you delete something you are still linked to because that will create a broken link.

3. The 'File Preview' panel on the right provides you with information about the file that you have selected. It also provides you with a live Url link of the document that you can copy. The File 'Manager'

the file manager is basically a stripped-down file transfer program it doesn't actually create links to any of the documents instead of provides a document repository that can be used to organize and manage all of your files in one place it's kind of like a toolbox that can be used throughout the site you can link back here throughout the website anywhere the links can be added the process of linking to a document is the same whether it's done in the navigation the text editor or any other pet part I'm going to use a tab content card an example because it's a good choice for showing multiple lists of documents alongside each other I'll start by making a bulleted list to help identify each document anything you highlight can be turned into a document if you highlight the text click the link button and select document from the list of different link types you pick the document you want and hit save if you've already linked a Google account you can also make links to Google Documents by using the Google Drive integration the second method of creating links is to use a dog list card to dynamically list all of the files in a folder to be made in the file manager in this case you first organize the files you want to do a simple folder then you add a doc list kontin element to the page and inside of the doc list you select which folder you want to reference if you have a lot of documents to link to this is a lot faster than building each link by hand but since it's tied to the file you don't have as much control over how it the list is formatted and what text is used to link to which doctor that's about it for documents thanks for watching let us know if you need anythingarticle highlights how to access your documents and successfully upload them onto your website pages!

Instructions

1. First, make sure you are logged into your website and have selected the school site you would like to access.

2. There are two ways to upload and attach documents to your website:

   1. The black bar at the top of your landing page will have a button labeled ‘documents.’ Click on the button and your file manager should pop up. Once the file manager is open, you will see a window that displays what you currently have uploaded into your website on the left, if anything, and your computer files you can choose from in the center. You will then do the following:

      1. Click on ‘Create Folder’ OR select a folder already created if you have one

      2. You will then be asked to choose a name for your folder.

      3. Click on ‘Upload’ and select the documents you would like to be uploaded into your content manager.

      4. Once you have selected all of the documents you want uploaded, click ‘save.”

      5. You should now be able to see your new or existing folder with drop down items underneath it representing each of your selected documents.

      6. You also have the option to delete folders or documents by selecting the item and clicking on the ‘delete’ button within your document manager window.

*Please note that individual files cannot exceed 100 MB and your files will not be considered saved until you click the green ‘Save to Catapult’ button within the file manager.

b. The second way you can upload and attach documents to your website is by clicking on the individual page you want to access, clicking the edit icon underneath the selected page, and clicking inside the content boxes you want your information to go. A window will pop up and allow you to select documents from your computer or google drive account if you have an associated account.

*Adding documents with this second method would be very helpful, for example, if you wanted to attach documents as links in one of your pages. You would type out the phrases you want to be linked, highlight the text accordingly, select the link icon, and choose ‘document’ for your link type. A window will pop up again according to your selection of either uploading from your computer or your google drive account and from there you will follow the same process of creating a folder, selecting your files, and making sure they are properly saved. And wha-la! You now have document links!
