In this example we will upload a PDF document and add a text link to open it from the Policies page, however, this can be done for any type of document (Word, Excel, etc.) and the link can be placed on any page or blog post.

~ We recommend that Word documents are converted to PDF before uploading because this format is more widely accessible. ~

~ The filename of your document will be used as the link on your webpage, so it’s a good idea to rename
your document to something appropriate before you upload it. ~
