Link To A File: School in Sites Website

You can add links to websites on any page using the Insert/Edit Link tool. Did you know you can upload a file and create a link that takes the viewer directly to the file? It's a great way to take a viewer directly to a file instead of just sending them to your Forms page.

For example, maybe I want to put a reminder for parents to sign their student's permission slip and then I want to link to a copy of the permission slip just in case they have misplaced theirs.

1. Log in and upload the file to Forms in your website admin window. (Supported files include Microsoft files like word, excel, and powerpoint, and PDF)
2. Go to the school website and refresh the page. Then go to Staff-->your name-->forms-->click on the form and download.
3. The file should appear in a new window. Copy the URL of that file.

4. Now, in your website admin window go to the page you want to link from. I have chosen my Welcome page. Type your text. Highlight the text that will hold your link.

5. Choose Insert/Edit link from the toolbar. 

6. Paste the URL of your file that you copied in step 3 and click Insert.

7. Click Update to save your changes.

8. Go to the school website and click refresh. When you go to your page, your link will appear. 

9. Rejoice in how easy that was!
