You can add the following file types of documents:

  • .html
  • .docx
  • .dotx
  • .odt
  • .openxml
  • .pdf
  • .psd
  • .pages
  • .txt
  • .rtf
Tip
Before beginning these steps, make sure you save the text document on the drive you are working from, or obtain its URL from the internet.

To add a document:

  1. In the header, click add.
  2. From the Create list, select Document.
  3. Using the following table as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
  4. Complete your site's workflow and publish the document.

After you publish your document, you can create a promo module or list module that contains it for use on landing pages such as pages and sections. You can also embed these modules into the rich-text editor. For details, see Embedding modules.
