More About Uploads
WordPress supports file uploads such as JPG, PDF, DOC, MP3, MOV, and more. From the WordPress dashboard, you can upload these files to a post, page, or the Media Library.
When editing a post or page, you can insert a File block. Then, you can upload a file or select one from the Media Library. Here you can include a title, caption, and description.
After uploading the file, the block editor will automatically include a Download button. Still, you can change this text and the background color. You can also upload any files to the Media Library to quickly access them when creating content.
