You can link directly to your document by copying the URL at the top of the page after you save the file (See below)

You can also add a link to a document to another WordPress page in the same way you add an internal link.

1. Highlight the text you would like to link (or, if using a button, follow the onscreen prompt)
2. Begin typing the name of your document, it should appear in the search box below where you are typing. If there are multiple documents with similar names they should all appear.
3. Click to choose your document
4. Click the ‘Apply’ button

5. Choose ‘Edit’
6. You are now on the same page as when you first uploaded the file. To upload a new version, simply click ‘Upload New Version’ and follow the prompts
7. Click ‘Update’
8. Your new file will now replace the old version at the same URL.
