Uploading Documents to your InstantPro Website
If you have important information which you wish to add on your website, perhaps the terms and conditions of a particular service your company offers, you are able to upload this information directly to your InstantPro Website.
So if you have a large amount of information on a PDF or in a Microsoft Word document, you do not have to copy it all out on to your webpages, just link to it on your InstantPro Website.
Visitors will also be able to download the content that you add using this method too, which is ideal for things like membership forms.
This feature is not just applicable to Documents, Spreadsheets and PDF files, you can use it to link to music, or video files too.
To follow this guide you will need to be familiar with creating hyperlinks on your pages. If you are not then please read the
InstantPro Hyperlinks Tutorial before continuing with this guide.
1.
Uploading a document or PDF is much the same as creating a link on your site.
You will first have to highlight the text from which you will link to the document.
For example, the text may read as:
"...full terms and conditions of the service can be found
here"
In this example
here will be the link to the document.
2.
An example page will be created with a music file, and an image which can both be heard or viewed online or downloaded depending on the preference of the site users.

The Link Title is text that appears when you hover over the link with the mouse cursor. You can use this text to tell visitors a little about where the link leads to.

Now you have a link on your page which will direct visitors to any documents or files that you require. Visitors to your site can also download these files from your site too, by clicking the right mouse button
and selecting the "save target as..." option.
