You most certainly can! From .docx's to PDFs, you can pretty much embed anything you like. Here's how 👇
Media Files
We'll host all your images for you and you can embed videos directly from video services. You can also embed most things from the web like this Apple Podcast embeddable using the Embed Block 👇
Attaching Files
How you add a file depends on its size:
If you want to attach a file of any type smaller than 5MB you can do that with the File block in the article editor. It'll insert a link to the file and we'll host it on our servers.
- Head to your article
- Type
/fileand pick File - Click Upload a file or drag and drop your file in
The link text is the file's name unless you type your own. You can also turn any link into a file: open the link and click Upload a file.
If your file's larger than a Tokyo skyscraper you'll need to host it somewhere else and embed or link to it in your doc. Type /embed to add an Embed Block and paste the link: Google Docs and any link that serves a PDF embed straight away, along with services like YouTube, Vimeo, Loom and SoundCloud. For anything else that gives you an HTML embed code, click Paste embed code instead.
If you'd rather link to a file like a Word document, host it somewhere else and link to it from HelpDocs. Just highlight your text, click the link icon in the toolbar that pops up, and paste the URL. We love Dropbox for this.
Can I Manage Files in HelpDocs?
There is no file manager (or access to FTP files) to organize or manage your files once uploaded. If you want further control over your file organization, your best bet would be to use third party image/file hosting.
If an image is hosted externally, the editor tells you where: its label shows Hosted at followed by the site it comes from 😊
