Page section Planned
A download that says what it is before you click.
Application forms, spec sheets, terms, a catalogue as a spreadsheet. This section presents a file as a proper download: name, type, size and an icon, so a visitor knows what they are getting, alone or in a list of documents.
Works with: Website
On the roadmap. This plugin is planned, not yet in the product. Everything below describes how it will work when it ships, and nothing here is a date.

Downloads, described.
-
Name, type, size
Every download states its file name, format and size, which the accessibility standard asks for and which visitors appreciate on a phone.
-
One or a list
A single download button, or a list of documents with a heading, sorted as you like.
-
Served from your site
Files live in your Media Library, are versioned with your website, and are served from your own address.
-
Replace in one place
Replace the file in your Media Library and every block that offers it serves the new one.
How it will work.
- Upload the files Add them to your Media Library with clear names.
- Place the block Ask Max to add a download, or a documents list, to a page.
- Publish On your dev site now and on your domain when you publish.
Good to know
- Downloads can be counted as events in Google Analytics when it is connected and consent allows.
- Files served to visitors are the ones you uploaded. The platform does not alter documents.
- Nothing server-executable can be uploaded to a website; the safety gate keeps that out.
Practical answers before you plan on it.
Read every answerWhich file types can I offer?
Documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, archives and the like. Executable files are refused by the safety gate that protects every website.
How is this different from the PDF Embed?
PDF Embed shows a PDF on the page. File Embed offers a file to download, of any allowed type, with its details.
Can I track downloads?
Yes, as an event in Google Analytics when that plugin is connected and the visitor has consented to analytics.
