Attaching Files

The best way to attach a file for downloading is to create an archive (zip) of the file
before uploading it to the server. Folders and complex file formats such as applications
and Keynote presentations must be archived before uploading.

To embed a media file such as a graphic, movie, or audio file so that people don’t need
to download it first, click the Insert Media button instead of the Attach File button.

To create an archive:

1

In Finder, select the files you want to compress.

2

Choose File > Compress, or click the Gear button and choose Compress.

To attach a file:

1

While editing a page, position the insertion point where you’d like the link to the file

to appear.

2

Click the Attach File (paperclip) button.

3

Click Choose File, select the file, and click Choose.

4

Click Attach.

Inserting and Editing Tables

Wiki pages and blog posts include an easy-to-use table editor.

To insert a table:

1

While editing a page, position the insertion point where you’d like the table to appear.

The table uses the full width of the wiki page. If you insert a table mid-paragraph,
the text on either side of the insertion point is located in paragraphs above and below
the table.

2

Click the Insert Table (table) button.

3

Edit the table using the table editor that appears.

To edit a table:

1

While editing a page, click a table.

2

In the table editor that appears, use the toolbar to change the table’s size or structure,

and edit text in the cells.
