1. From the page and location you wish to link from, click on the 'Insert Link' button on the toolbar (the one that looks like a globe with chain link in front of it). A pop-up screen will appear.
2. In the pop-up screen, click on the tab labeled "Attachments." To add a new attachment, click on the "Browse" button to get to files on your computer, and select the appropriate file.
3. Next click on the "Attach" button, and the file will upload. When done, it will show up just above the "Browse" and "Attach" buttons in a list. This is a list of all the attachments to that particular page.
4. Select the attachment you just uploaded from the list and a reference to it will show up in the "Link" field at the top of the pop-up screen.
5. In the field called "Alias," enter the words you wish to appear to represent the link on the actual page. For instance, you might type "click here to see our latest report,". The link can appear in the middle of a paragraph, and may simply be part of a sentence.
6. Another way to enter the words that will form the link is to highlight the words in the edit window before clicking the 'Insert Link' button. These words will automatically appear in the "Alias" field and all you have to do is add the attachment info.
7. When ready, click the "OK" button at the bottom of the pop-up screen.

Page permissions and restricting access (hiding a page)

Page restrictions control who may view or edit a specific page, within the bounds of the space permissions

...

. This gives the space administrator control over who can access their space, and within that the page editor can control access to the page.

• Viewing restrictions make the page invisible to everyone except the chosen users/groups.
• Editing restrictions prevent everyone except the chosen users/groups from editing the page.
  

To set 'viewing' restrictions on a page

2. The word 'Restrictions' will now appear at the bottom of the page (above 'Labels'). Click the 'Edit' link next to the word 'Restrictions'.
3. A form will appear below the word 'Restrictions', as shown in the screenshot below. The option 'Restrict viewing of this page' will be selected by default.
4. Choose the appropriate user(s) and/or group(s) who you want to allow to view the page:
   • To choose just yourself, click 'Choose me'.

     • Type the user's name (or a list of names, separated by commas) into the 'Enter user/group name(s)' box, then click the 'Add' button.
   • To choose a particular group(s), you can either:

Select the appropriate group(s), then click the 'Select group(s)' button.
