This article highlights how to access your documents and successfully upload them onto your website pages!
Instructions
First, make sure you are logged into your website and have selected the school site you would like to access.
There are two ways to upload and attach documents to your website:
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:
Click on ‘Create Folder’ OR select a folder already created if you have one
You will then be asked to choose a name for your folder.
Click on ‘Upload’ and select the documents you would like to be uploaded into your content manager.
Once you have selected all of the documents you want uploaded, click ‘save.”
You should now be able to see your new or existing folder with drop down items underneath it representing each of your selected documents.
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!
