Documents

How to add pdf, doc, docx, etc.

This is how you add documents via the media entity in Drupal. Media documents allow you to update a file as many times as you need to - plus it allows you to keep the same url and never have to update it.

  1. Go to Content --> click Media
  2. Click Add Media
  3. Click Document

Media steps 1 2 3

Click Choose File or if you are editing an existing document click Remove and then Choose File.

Add or remove document

After saving the media it will automatically have a url structure like this: /media/number. If you would like to give the document a custom url you can click on URL alias and add one in the field. You will use the url to link the document other pages.

  • Below is the example for the Areas of Study flyer
  • It is linked to other pages by adding a link and pasting /aos-flyer
