To add a link:

1. Before linking a PDF
   • Make sure the file is named appropriately so users know what it contains.

                      Document naming standards:

• • • wisconsin-unit/department-description
      Simple file no specific year or revision associated with the file. Used when a single file is updated yearly.

    • wisconsin-yyyy-mm-dd-unit/department-description or wisconsin-yyyy-semester-unit/department-description
      A file that is featured in an archive and has multiple items featured. You can add the level of specificity that works best for your archive.

                      Example PDF:

• • • Original filename: mkt_237_415_syllabus.pdf

    • Random original file name is updated to proper naming conventions: wisconsin-syllabus-415-marketing-communications
