Uploading an PDF document to Cascade CMS is done by using the red plus sign for adding content. We recommend your documents be saved in PDF format because you can ensure the security of the content and they are viewable on any device, including mobile devices.  Be sure to check your pdf for accessibility!

Instructions

1. In the Site Content tree on the left, click on the _files folder. Then click on the document folder or a subfolder within the documents folder.
   
   
   Select a folder by hovering over the asset name and clicking on the arrow (>) that appears to the right of the asset name. The contents of that folder will display on the right hand side of the page.
   
   
   
2. Look for the red plus sign in the topmost header area of the page, and click on Add Content.  Choose the Document asset.
   
3. Drag and drop your document from somewhere on your computer into the browser window, or choose one from your computer. The File Name will automatically populate with the file name previously given to the image.
   
   
   
   
   • Make sure the document file name is descriptive and SEO friendly.
   • Be sure to use your department/college logo on all PDF documents.
   • PDF documents must be under 20mb and accessible.
   • Fill in the Display Name and Title for document description.

   Do not use spaces, capital letters, or other special characters in the name of the PDF file.

   
   
   
4. Click Preview Draft. After previewing the draft, click Submit to save the PDF to the CMS.
   
   
5. A workflow will be initiated, the Web Communication office will review the document and publish to the servers.  If further edits are required the workflow will be returned to the author.
   
   
   

Documents uploaded to the CMS can be linked from a page via the WYSIWYG editor by clicking on the Insert/edit link button (looks like a chain) and navigating to the document file.
