   1. 'Upload file' - click on the button to open the file chooser on your computer
   2. 'Title' - this is the title of the file
   3. 'Description' - this field allows you to add a description to your file that will help you to find it when searching your file library
10. Once you have filled all of the fields click 'Upload', and your file will be loaded into your selected folder
    
11. You can now select the file and click the 'OK' button in the bottom right of the pop up, and the text that you highlighted will now be linked to the file that you have uploaded.
