File Manager's Manage Documents is where you can upload document files for your website. These documents include these file types: pdf, css, js, xls, txt, doc files and more. Start by navigating to Content > File Manager > Documents. The file manager is broken down into three sections: on the left is the folders within the site; on the right at the top is the upload section; below the file upload box is the current folders and the image files uploaded to the site. Clicking a folder icon below the file upload will open the list of images contain within that folder.
TIP: You can switch between list and grid view by clicking the icons at the top right.

• To Add a New Folder click the "Add Folder" button at the top right. Enter the folder name in the popup and click "Save". This folder will be created where you are in the folders within the site. You can find your current position by looking at the breadcrumb above the upload box to the left of the button.
