Explore different ways to incorporate doc, text, and PDF files into buttons, cards, and more in your Hub using a URL
🧰 What You Will Need
- A Hub
- A file uploaded to your Library

You can add a PDF (or doc or text) file to your Hub through the following:
This enables you to create clickable elements (buttons, cards, etc.) that can open your PDF in a new tab or the same browser tab.

Here is an overview of the steps involved:
-
Upload Your File: If you have not already done so, go to your Library to upload a PDF.
-
Copy your File's Link: Once the file is uploaded, Now that your file is in your Library, we need to copy the link to your file. Click the three-dot menu on the file, choose the Share option, and then click 🔗 Copy URL.
- Paste your File's Link: Add your File Link to a new or existing Hub section. Every single Section type is compatible with a URL element.
Additional Options and Considerations
- Other cloud-hosted files: For example, you can share a file from an online Library (e.g., Google Drive) by sharing via URL such that anybody who has the link can access the file.
- Multiple Elements: You can add the same or different files to various Hub elements by repeating the URL insertion process.
- Element Flexibility: Almost any Hub element that accepts an external URL can be used. Experiment with buttons, cards, images, or text links to best suit your Hub design.
