Hey guys and welcome back to my channel.
In today's video I'm going to be sharing with you how to add downloadable documents on Wix.
This is useful if you want to give your site’s visitors a PDF, for instance, that they can
instantly download to their computer, without opting in to your email list.
If you’re looking for a tutorial on how to send a freebie PDF to to your site’s
visitors who subscribe to your email list, make sure to watch my video on how to ‘add
your freebie PDF to Wix for download for your subscribers’.
The link to it is in the description box below.
Stay tuned until the end of this video to learn how to add downloadable documents on
Wix, and to get a FREE complete website creation guide to help you create your own website
step-by-step without stress or overwhelm.

With that said let's go ahead and jump right in.
There are two ways you can add downloadable documents on Wix: to a piece of text or on
a button.
To add a downloadable document to a piece of text, in your Wix editor, click on ‘+
add’ from the left-hand side panel, and then drag-and-drop one of the text options
onto your page.
Double click the text box to edit what it says, such as to ‘click here to download
the document’.
Now with the entire piece of text selected, click on the link icon under the text settings
popup.
From this new popup that appears that asks you to select what you want your text to link
to, switch the selection from ‘page’ to ‘document’.
Click on ‘choose file’, and then either drag and drop your document into the dashed
area or click on ‘+ upload media’ and then ‘upload from computer’ to upload
it from your computer.
You can also upload documents for download to your Wix website from your Wix account,
Google Drive, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Google Photos, Flickr, DeviantArt, Dribble
or from a link.
Locate the document you wish to add to your Wix website from the location of your choice,
and then click on ‘open’ and on ‘add to page’.
To link the document you just downloaded to your piece of text, click on ‘done’.
To add a downloadable document on a button, click on ‘+ add’ from the left-hand side
panel, and then either click on ‘button’, and choose one of the themed buttons, text
buttons, or icon buttons, or click on ‘more’ and choose a document button.
To add any of these buttons to your website, drag-and-drop it to the location of your choice.
If you choose a themed button, text button, or icon button, you’ll be able to add a
downloadable document to it from the link tab on its individual toolbar.
Just like with the piece of text, you can select what you want this button to link to.
Click on ‘document’, ‘choose file’, either upload a new document or select one
from your library in Wix, click on ‘add to page’, and then on ‘done’.
For a detailed, step-by-step tutorial on how to customize this button, make sure to watch
my video on ‘how to add, link and customize a button on Wix’.
The link to it is in the description box below.
If you choose a document button instead, you’ll be redirected to the choose a document popup
from the moment that you click on the document button.
To add a downloadable document to it, either upload a new document or select one from your
library in Wix, and then click on ‘add to page’.
When we click on ‘preview’ from the menu up top, and then click on the piece of text
and either one of the buttons, the document we just connected to our Wix website will
be available for download, without your visitors having to opt in to your email list to receive
it.
Once you’ve finished designing your piece of text or button to your choosing, remember
to save your work, and click on the blue ‘publish’ button up top to make your changes active
to all of your site’s visitors.
Now you know how to add downloadable documents on Wix.
