On the Page Listing screen click the View file list link to bring up the File Listing screen. If your site's template includes pre-uploaded files they will already be listed in a table beneath the Upload button. Uploaded files are listed in alphabetical order by name.
 
To upload a new file:

In the Upload new file section, enter a description name. This will be the name, the Portal refers to - not the original file name.   Click the browse button to bring up the Choose file box. Locate the file on your computer, highlight it and click Open to select.   Click the Upload button to load the file into the Portal editor. If the upload is successful the message "File Uploaded" appears near the top of the screen (in bold text) and the new file is added to the list.  Note: The Portal system will not allow you to upload a file if there is an existing one with the same name. Use the 'replace' facility described below if you need to swap one file for another.

• Click the View button to the left of the file name to view the uploaded file. 
• Click on the appropriate Delete button to delete a file. The file will be deleted after you have given confirmation. Remember that uploading it again from scratch is the only way to restore a deleted file. 
• In the table of files click the Browse button of the file to be replaced. 
• Find the replacement file on your computer and click the Open button to select it. 
• Click the Upload button to complete the procedure. If successful the message "File *filename* replaced" will appear at the top of the screen.  
• Remember that this replace facility does not change the file name.
