Working with Downloads

Creating a new (or updating an existing) Download:

  1. In Jadu, open the Publishing tab, navigate to Downloads and select it
  2. Click the blue "New Download" button
  3. Give your new Download a title, apply a category, write a short description, then click the blue "Save" button
  4. Under the "Actions" dropdown menu, select either "Upload file" or "Drop in file"
  5. Scroll down and upload the document using whichever method you chose then click the blue "Save" button
  6. Once saved, click the orange "Submit" button and publish the Download
  7. Make the Download "Live" and "Visible" using the buttons at the top of the page
  8. Once published and live, navigate again to the "Actions" tab and select "View Live"
  9. On this page should be a link to the uploaded document you can select and copy for use elsewhere on the website

Updating an existing Download:

If you’re updating or adding to an existing download, simply locate the download within Jadu and open it (it will need to fall within your assigned categories). Here you can either add a new document using steps 4-9, or update an existing file by following these steps:

  1. Select the current file within the Download list by clicking on the File Title
  2. The page will reload, scroll to the bottom of the page to the file settings
  3. Change the title of the file, if necessary and check the box next to “Change file?”
  4. Choose an upload method from the resulting dropdown menu and upload the updated file
  5. Click the blue “Save” button below and republish the page by clicking the orange “Submit” button and going through the approval process

By updating an existing file instead of simply uploading a new one, any existing links to the original file will automatically direct to the updated file instead! No updating any links necessary!
