note: avoid using special characters in file names, & , # etc..  or you may receive an error and the file will not upload

8) Ensure your file is named properly, display name and Alt text are required for accessibility and should be descriptive. "Meeting Packet 1" is not acceptable, "Planning Board Meeting Packet for October 29 2026 Meeting" is a more appropriate description.

note: if your document is not already a PDF then CIvicPlus can convert it for you (see #3 in screenshot below)

9) Click on SAVE AND PUBLISH

10) your file is now in the document center, and publicly available, but it is unlikely a visitor would find it there, it is therefore important you create a link to this file from a page where residents are much more likely to look for the meeting packets

Copy the link to the file

11) While still in the document center, click the ACTIONS "..." button next to the new uploaded and published file -> choose COPY LINK

12) Copy either path that is shown, the short path is usable on Town pages, if you were to email or post the path on facebook you must copy the bottom full https:// path. Use the COPY button to copy the entire path
