The Download component allows digital assets within My Assets to be linked for download by site visitors. Digital assets can also be downloaded via Text component or Call To Action Link components.

The Title and Options configuration dialog contains the following options:

  • Component Title - text input field that does not display for this component but useful for giving the component a title for keeping track of what it is used for on the page
  • CSS Class - text input field for custom CSS and/or utility classes
  • A drop zone to drag and drop assets from the Assets sidebar
    • NOTE: Do not upload digital assets directly to the component.
  • Description - textarea input for a brief description of the linked asset
