Adding+Files

On this page I will go over the steps to add files to a page.


 * the limitation set by Wikispaces is that file sizes cannot exceed 10MB in size, for things larger than that, you need to consider having them on other sites and linking or embedding them

Here is how you add or upload a file to a page:


 * 1) Go to the page you want to add the file to.
 * 2) On that page, click the edit button
 * 3) [[image:Screen shot 2012-06-17 at 3.15.26 PM.png width="800" height="186"]]
 * 4) The editing of a page is similar to other text editing software (Word, GoogleDocs, etc.) with some additional buttons.The button we want for this task is the File button. Before we click it, look at where your cursor is blinking, because this is the location that wikispaces will place the file. Once you have the cursor in the right place, click the File button.

 * 6) Initially you will not see any files. After you have loaded files, every file for this wiki will appear in the middle column, like this,

 * 8) Since you probably need to upload the file, click the button in the upper right, +Upload Files.
 * 9) [[image:Screen shot 2012-06-17 at 3.21.46 PM.png width="800" height="543"]]
 * 10) You will get some kind of file system, this one is mine on a macbook. Basically you need to point wikispaces in the right direction and find your file, then click the Open button.
 * 11) You need to wait a little bit for the upload, depending on connection speed, file size, etc. When the file is ready, there will be an icon to the left of the file name, like this,
 * 12) [[image:Screen shot 2012-06-17 at 3.29.02 PM.png]]
 * 13) When you single-click on the filename or icon, you should see your page with a grey-box with the file name, and some choices under it, like this,
 * 14) [[image:Screen shot 2012-06-17 at 3.30.40 PM.png width="800" height="130"]]
 * 15) or this, if the file is an image file,
 * 16) [[image:Screen shot 2012-06-17 at 3.34.43 PM.png]]
 * 17) The options for the file/image should be fairly self-explanatory. Even after you save a page, then go back in to edit, you can get these same options by clicking on the file in edit mode.
