Files are content created by external programs and imported for use into Cascade such as images or documents. The process of uploading files into Cascade is the same regardless of file type. We recommend uploading images into Cascade before using them on your site. 

File Extensions

Files uploaded into Cascade must have a file extension in order for Cascade to display the correct file type. When you choose a file to upload, the file extension will automatically be appended. Be sure to apply the appropriate file extension if renaming a file.

Upload Files

2. Click Add Content > File in the Top Menu bar.
