BEST PRACTICE: Need to Upload a PDF or Word file? Use the Document Library!
We've received many calls this week from customers who had been uploading Word and PDF files to their web sites using the Insert Image button in the text editor. The Insert Image button should only be used to insert images like JPEGs, GIFs, and PNGs into your Doubleknot Site Brander pages, Communications Center emails, and Newsroom articles. 
 
If you need to include a link to a document (like a PDF or Microsoft Word file) on a Site Brander page, in a Communications Center email, or in a Newsroom article, use the Document Library feature to upload the document to Doubleknot.
 
Storing the file in the document library ensures that it’s accessible throughout Doubleknot, and you can easily create the right link for your constituents to open and view the document. If you need to update the document in the future, you can upload the revised file in the document library—the existing published links to the document will always display the most recent version.

To upload a file to the document library, follow these steps:

  1. In the Administer panel, click Library Documents.
  2. In the Document Actions section, select New Document.
  3. Click OK.
  4. In the Title field, enter a meaningful name for the document. You’ll locate the document using this title when you publish the link.
  5. In the Description field, enter a description of the document. (This field is optional.)
  6. Depending on your browser, click Browse or Choose File.
  7. Locate and select the file you want to add to the document library.
  8. Click Add. The file will be uploaded and added to the document library.

To place a link to the file on any Site Brander page, in a Communications Center email, or in a Newsroom article, use the DK Links button in the text editor. By using DK Links, you ensure that the links to the document will always be correct. To use DK LInks, follow these steps:

  1. Place the cursor in the location where you want to add a link to the document.
  2. In the third toolbar, click the DK Links button.
  3. If the document was uploaded into the library for a different organization, select organization in the Display Links For menu.
  4. At the left, click Document.
  5. Locate the document to add, and click the green plus sign on the left side of the document title.
  6. If you want to display text other than the title of the document, enter it in the Link Name field.
  7. Click OK. A link to the document will be placed in the email, article, or web page.
