How do I link to documents?
You can load the document first, and then link to it. Alternatively, you can load the document while creating the link.
When you add a document to your page, it can be included to the list of links on the navigation pane automatically -- unless you choose otherwise! Pay attention to this detail when uploading documents of any sort.

2. Pick the subsite to which the document will be added, and then click "Next". The popup window for uploading a file will appear.
4. In the Title box, type the name by which the file will be known in the CMS. This title appears in your navigation if you choose to display the item in the navigation.
5. Complete optional fields as desired, and then click "Next". The Custom Page Information window will be displayed.
6. If you want the document to be included in the Skidmore site navigation, check the appropriate boxes and enter the sort order. If you do not want the document displayed in the navigation, uncheck the "Include in Nav" box.
7. Click "Finish" and publish your work.
