To add resources to your website, select “File Manager” from the i:Create Content Management System (i:Create) Utility Bar located at the top of the page in the i:Create workbench.

Find the appropriate file folder

Each menu vertical on your website has a file folder in File Manager. When you enter File Manager, select the vertical folder that contains the page with the resource you want to add or delete. Next, select the “resource” folder located at the top of the page list.

You can add file folders to the File Manager to help you organize your resources. You can also make a list of favourite files to help you save time navigating through File Manager.
