Troubleshooting Tips

• Link not working or showing a 404 error

  Double-check that the file was uploaded and the link begins with /file. Make sure the PDF file hasn’t been moved or renamed.

• Nothing happens when clicking the link

  Make sure the link was properly inserted and that the text was highlighted before adding the link.

• Accidentally deleted the link or text

  You can use the undo button or re-highlight the text and repeat the steps to reinsert the link.
