The Document download button can be used on all pages with either a sidebar (on the left) or a highlight box (aligned within text on the right).

It provides a clickable button for important documents that you wish to highlight on your page. You can see a live example on the right of this page.

Give it a try

1. Before continuing make sure you add a highlight box widget to your page.

To add content types to a highlightbox, the highlightbox area must be 'activated'.

2. Create one hidden section (page) called HighlightBox (case sensitive) as a sub-section (child) of the section where your highlightbox will live.

This section must be named HighlightBox (case sensitive) and hidden from the navigation in order to work.

Below is a screen shot showing a hidden HighlightBox section, a grey folder indicates that the section doesn't show in the navigation and is hidden:

3. Add a Download button - HighlightBox, Sidebar content type to your hidden HighlightBox section. (Find out how to add a content type to a section).
