This article explains how to upload document files to Pangea CMS.

The following file types are supported:

.doc | .docx | .xls | .xlsx | .ppt | .pptx | .txt | .pdf | .rtf | .xml | .csv | .epub

The maximum size for an individual file is 35 MB.



Upload a single document file

To upload a single document file, go to Create > Multimedia > Document.

Select the file you want to upload using one of the methods below:

  • Select the file, and drag and drop it into the box.
  • Hit Browse files, and navigate to the location on your device where the file is saved. Select the file.

The Document edit screen appears as soon as the upload is complete. This lets you immediately add the Document settings.

Upload multiple document files

Pangea CMS can upload up to two document files simultaneously. You might select more than two document files for upload, but the third file will not start uploading until one of the first two files is fully uploaded.

To upload multiple document files, go to Create > Multimedia > Document.

Select the files you want to upload using one of the methods below:

  • Select all the files, and drag and drop them into the box.
  • Hit Browse files and navigate to the location on your device where the files are saved. Select all the files, and click Open.

The Upload manager appears in the top-right corner of Pangea CMS. To add the Document settings, hover over the relevant panel and select the Edit button.

Find a Document

After the upload is complete, the document file is saved automatically in Pangea CMS as a Document with the Draft status.

Follow these basic steps to find a Document from the main Search screen in CMS:

  1. Hit Clear to restore the default search filters.
  2. Select Document under Content type.
  3. Hit Search to refresh the search results.

The Document should normally appear in the search results. Hit the title to open the Document edit screen.

Troubleshooting

If an upload fails, you see the Failed status in the search results.

We suggest replacing the document file from the Document edit screen. When you use this option, you will not lose any unsaved work on the Document edit screen. To replace the file, hit Replace. You can then upload the file again.

If the issue persists, contact Pangea Customer Care so we can investigate.
