4. Click on Save. The link will now be attached to the email address (indicated by an underline).

Note: Only fully accessible PDFs are allowed to be uploaded and linked with the text.

Follow the steps below to upload a PDF and attach it as part of your content:

1. Log in to the website.
2. Hover over 'Content' on the top left menu bar.
3. From the "Content" drop down menu, hover over 'Media' and then 'Add Media'.
4. Click on 'Document'. This will take you to the "Add Document" page.
5. Click on the 'Choose file' button to upload the pdf file. 
6. Select the desired pdf file from your computer and click 'Open'.
7. Enter the Name* and Revision log message and then "Save".
8. Once the document has been uploaded, the filename will appear in the form of a link (e.g. Filename.pdf).
9. Right-click on this link, and choose 'Copy link address'.
10. This link address can now be embedded in an overlay text in your content using the editor in Drupal.

Only one user can edit a page at any given time. The content gets locked against simultaneous editing, as indicated by this message on top:

"This content is now locked against simultaneous editing. This content will remain locked if you navigate away from this page without saving or unlocking it."

If another person wishes to edit the page immediately after you do, you will have to 'unlock' the page for them so that they are able make their changes.

To do so, click on the 'Unlock' button that is present at the bottom of the page while being edited, right beside the 'Save' and 'Preview' buttons.

Please select the 'Schedule a training' option in the Drupal Website Request Form to put in a request for your training and we will schedule it for you.

Common accessibility issues to look out for : 

• Missing alternative text in images.
• Images that include text in them.
• Using 'Bold' for headings instead of formatting styles in the Drupal editor (i.e. H3, H2).
• The hierarchy of headings isn’t followed (i.e. H3 should always come after H2).
• Tables that don’t have a heading, or there are empty cells.
• Using naked URLs in your content instead of overlay text.
• Using generic language for overlay text instead of specifics (e.g. 'Click here').
• Using videos that do not have closed captions.
• Not including the file type and its size after attaching a PDF on the website (i.e. PDF, 500 KB).
