Tips for best results
- Use clear file names. "Menu-Spring-2026.pdf" is better than "document1.pdf"
- Keep files small. Large files take longer to download on mobile data.
- Use PDF for documents. PDFs display consistently across all devices.
- Add context. Use the component description to explain what each file contains.

Common questions
Is there a file size limit?
Yes. Check your plan details for specific file size limits. For best user experience, keep files under 10 MB when possible.
Can visitors preview files before downloading?
Files download directly. Visitors cannot preview them in the browser. For content you want people to read on the page, use a Content component instead.
How do I update a file?
Delete the old file and upload the new version. The file name should match if you want continuity.
Are download counts tracked?
Yes. File downloads are tracked in your scan analytics.
Can I password-protect files?
The Files component does not support password protection. If you need protected files, use a PDF with password protection before uploading.
