Folders

Each account may differ where images and documents are stored for websites. Find out from your Account Administrator (AA) where to store your images and documents. If you want to create a folder but lack authorization to do so, consult with your AA for guidance. 

Filename Naming Convention

• use lower case
• hyphens between words
• keep names brief but clear
• using an apostrophe is not allowed.

The recommendation is to only use the following characters:

• lowercase letters (a - z)
• numbers (0 - 9)
• hyphen (-) and period (.)

Before uploading any images or documents, make sure you are in the correct folder to keep your website organized (e.g. images folder or document folder).
