How to add a file to a page

There are two steps to add a file to a page:-

  1. Upload the file
  2. Add the file to the desired page

 1) Upload the File

All files (i.e PDF, Word Doc etc) need to be uploaded under the Files Module before they can be added to a page.

File cannot be larger than 1 MB, otherwise it will fail to upload
