Linking to Shared Files

Linking to a file you've already shared with a client is straightforward and can be pretty handy. 

 

Just as you would to embed a video and other media, click the “Add Media” button on the WYSIWYG toolbar, then choose the option 'Link to an already-shared file':

Linking to files is done by using the file title, but as the cautionary red text states, you must link to a file that matches the name of one already shared; otherwise, it will be a broken link.  

 

This is easy to get right when on a Client Page.  However, if you’re linking to some file within a template from your Library (say a Worksheet or Session Note Template), you’ll need to make certain that that file will have already been shared with a given client by the time that client sees that template.

 

 

Once you’ve chosen a file and customized the button text however you like ([fileTitle] is a magic tag that works just as you’d expect it), your embed will be inserted as a button:

Linking to files as a media embed works not just in Worksheets, but in anything you compose using the WYSIWYG, including:
