FAQ - File Library

- I'm an Admin for my Club and am working on cleaning up my microsite. I noticed we have many inactive files and there are several that I don't have copies of on my computer. Is there a way to download those images from the site onto my computer?

If you are saving files onto your computer, open the file by clicking the Actual File Name. A new browser tab will open and click Download to the right. This downloads the file to your computer.

- Will changing the file name of a file break the existing links that may exist to that file?

If you change the "Document Title" or "Document Name" of a file, it will not break the link that exists to the file.

- I see there there are a number of "Valid File Types" I can upload to the File Library but what do all those file type abbreviations mean?
