File Uploading and Limitations

---

The CMS allows you to upload files to your website without the use of special software or FTP programs. Once a document or image is uploaded, you can use these files throughout your website Content. For example, you can insert a link to a document (such as a pdf) or an image into your Content page copy or you can insert an image directly in your Content (if the Page Layout allows).

Consider the following when uploading files to your web site:

File sizes: There is a 1 GB upload size limit for each file. Depending on the file size and the upstream speed of your connection, your file upload can take a few seconds to several minutes.

Image sizes: To keep the integrity of your images, the CMS will not automatically resize images to fit onto a Content page. It is up to you to upload images of the cor- rect size. The Page Layout you select will determine the supported image size. When designing your Content page, a message will display the required image size.

File names: File names should not contain spaces, apostrophes or other characters that are invalid in some web browsers. To ensure that the CMS will work with all supported browsers, file names will be stripped of any possible unsupported charac- ters.
