How to Upload Document or
Insert Link from SharePoint
When adding a document to your web site, there are two ways this can be done. Let‘s begin.
The first step is to go to your
website.
Click the Settings cog.
Select Edit page.
Place your cursor where you
want to insert a document.
1. Select Insert  Link  From SharePoint
Use this method if you have
uploaded the document into
the Document Library on
this site.
Open the Documents library and click on the document you want to insert. You will notice the name of
this document will be shown in the URL listing at the bottom of the page. Double check to make sure
that is the document you want to insert. Click the Insert button.
Formatting the Link
You will see that the document
has been added. Now it is time
to format the link to this
document.
With your cursor within the link,
click the Open in new tab and
Display Icon selections shown in
the Link tab above.
Note: Always place your cursor
within the link, working from the
inside out. If you work from the
outside in, you will lose the
hyperlink.
With my cursor within the link, after the “H”, I will type SharePoint 2013, add the “H” to ow to Create
Bookmarks in Chrome.pdf. (That is how you work from the inside out.) Again, with my cursor within the
link, I will place it after “Chrome” and delete “.pdf”. The result is below. This link has been formatted!
2. Click Insert tab  Upload File
Now let’s try another way to add a document to your page. Repeat step 1:
First step is to go to your
website.
Click the Settings cog.
Select Edit page.
Place your cursor where you
want to insert a document.
Click Insert  Upload File.
Use this method if you have not uploaded the document into your Document library. Here you will
upload and insert a file from your computer onto the page. Plus, it will automatically be uploaded into
your Documents library.
Click the Chose File button, select the file and click the Open button, click OK.
The document was uploaded successfully. Next, Copy the Name of the document and Paste it into the
Title field. Doing so allows a user to “search” for this document and find it much quicker.
Note: Do not add any text in the MangedMetadata field.
After the document name has been pasted into the Title field, click the Save button.
You will notice that the document icon (pdf) automatically appears to the left of the name of this
document. You will only have to select “Open in new tab” in the Links tab that opens in the ribbon at
the top when you place your cursor within the link.
Repeat the steps for Formatting the Link (above). Your link will then display as shown below.
The final step is to Publish.
Click the Publish tab.
Select Publish.
You have now learned two
different ways to upload a
document to your website. The
document has been uploaded to
your page. It has also uploaded to
your Documents library.
This is the finished view.
