Accessing the File
Library
To access the File Library, log
into your website. Go to the WebFrame Page List, then choose Edit File Library
from the left side. Your File Library will load (may take a moment depending on
the number of files you have stored in the library), and this window will
display:
On the left you will see 3 folders in which you can organize files.
Across the top are menu options. Below
the main menu options are the files stored in the selected folder at the left.
If you right click on a file in the file library, you will be given additional
menu options.

uploading: Files (documents), Images or Video. 1) In the toolbar across the
top, choose Upload . 2) Browse and select the file you wish to upload. 3)
Upload the selected file to the File Library.

Replacing an Existing File
The File Library does not allow you to directly replace (overwrite) an existing
document. If you try to do so, it will append the file name with a "[1]". This is a safety check to make sure you
don't overwrite a file unintentionally. To replace a document, you can first
delete the old document, then upload the new document. If you keep the file
names exactly the same, you won't have to update those links as they appear on
the page(s) of your website. If the file name changes (or a [1] is appended to
the file during upload) you will have to either 1) rename that document to the
path being used in your hyperlink or 2) change the path in the hyperlinks on
your web pages. See also, Uploading a File
and Linking to a File in the File
Library.

Linking to a File in the File Library
Right click on the file you wish to link to, and choose Select from the menu
options. The path to this file is populated in the Selected File Path field.
(You may also left double click on a file to view its path.) This is the path
name you will use when creating a hyperlink to the file on your website. Once a
file is in your File Library, you can link to it anywhere on your website.
