Images, screenshots, and sample files can add examples and detail to your documentation. The process of adding files and images to articles differs a little between the Modern Editor and the Legacy Editor. Here, we walk through the process in Modern Editor.
Files added using this method will display a hyperlink to the file. In most cases, clicking that hyperlink will prompt the reader to download the file to open it. For example, here we've inserted a link to a PDF example file: Example-Article.pdf .
If you'd like to display the contents of a file directly in KnowledgeOwl without this download process, see Display Microsoft Office OneDrive files in articles, Display Microsoft Office file in articles, or Display PDF file in articles for more details!
