This article will show you how to use the File Manager in the CMS section.
Go to: CMS > Website > Files
A file manager or file browser is a computer program that provides a user interface to manage files and folders.
- Drag and Drop file uploads happen when you drag one or more files from an underlying platform's file manager and drop them onto a web page for upload. A preview of the image indicates the upload has begun.
- To upload a single file, click Upload File, locate, and then select the file you want to upload.
Files that can be uploaded on the File Manager:
- JPG / JPEG is a widely used compressed image format for containing digital images.
- PNG file format is widely used on websites to display high-quality digital images. Created to exceed the performance of GIF files, PNGs offer not just lossless compression, but also a much broader & brighter colour palette.
- GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. GIF is a raster file format designed for relatively basic images that appear mainly on the internet. Each file can support up to 8 bits per pixel and can contain 256 indexed colour.
- PDF stands for portable document format. Essentially, the format is used when you need to save files that cannot be modified but still need to be easily shared and printed. Today most devices have a version of Adobe Reader or can open a PDF in an Internet Browser.
