This article illustrates how to add or upload documents.

Uploading a New Document

To upload a document:

  5. Internal Use Only if the document is confidential. Checking this box does not change the visibility of the file but prevents it from being publicly accessible.

  7. Make the image available from HTML email templates without requiring a Salesforce username and password

Tips for Uploading or Replacing Documents

  • Documents stored as links cannot be attached to emails, but they save space in your document library.
  • If document content search is enabled, Salesforce will also perform a full-text search of the document. When a new document is uploaded or an old one is replaced, its contents are available for searches. For more information, see Searching for Documents.
  • Salesforce stores the most recent upload date as the modified date.
  • You can upload documents that have file names of up to 255 characters including the extension.
  • The size limit for any document you upload is 5 MB. The maximum size for a custom-app logo is 20 KB.
  • Your organization’s used file storage includes all files stored in the document library.
  • If the Disallow HTML documents and attachments security setting is enabled for your organization, you cannot upload files with the following file extensions: .htm, .html, .htt, .htx, .mhtm, .mhtml, .shtm, .shtml, .acgi.
