Files

Files can be images, PDF documents, Excel spreadsheets, Power Points, and any other items you might embed or link to in a page.

File Names
File and page names should be concise, lengthy names will be harder to work with later. Special characters should not be used except for dashes and under scores in place of spaces. Special characters may cause the CMS to freeze or reject your file or page. Examples:

BAD: Class of 2019 grads 00263 #(edited).jpg

GOOD: 2019-grads.jpg
