Add reference files to a brief

Reference files give Spark content to use, instructions to follow, or a layout to base the page on.

You can add them on the What should your page include? screen, next to your brief.

Before you start

Check the supported file types and size limitations for reference files.
Understand the different file instruction types so you can guide Spark in the right direction with your brief.

On the What should your page include? screen, click Upload.
Choose one or more files from your computer.
Spark uploads each file as you select it and shows it under your brief.
Click Upload more if you need to add additional files after your initial selections.
(Optional) Select Add note under a file to tell Spark how to use the file.
1. In the What is this file? dialog, choose an option from the Instructions list.
2. (Optional) Enter more detail in the notes box, for example, "Use this file to create the layout of the top section only".
3. For a PDF or DOCX file, decide whether to select Upload images from this document to Matrix if you want to use them as image assets.
Click Add note.
The file now shows the option you chose. If you also entered notes, the file shows the option name followed by the text of the additional instructions.
Select Next when you have finished adding files and notes.

To remove a file, select the X at the right of the file under your brief.

You can remove a file at any time before you select Next.
