How to add a link in your document to a file within Showell

Within a document, such as PDFs or PowerPoint, you can add links to files that are already in Showell

💡Good to know

It is possible to add media within your document or presentation you are creating. However, these kind of files are mostly attached and can only be viewed correctly when using the correct software. For example:
1. A 3D element embedded in a PDF can only be viewed when using a dedicated PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat
2. A Video embedded in a PowerPoint might only work when presenting from MS Office PowerPoint
In order to overcome obstacles like this, Showell provides the option of 'adding links to files within Showell'. The solution in a nutshell:
1. Do not embed the item within your document right away
2. Instead, upload the item(s), such as a media or 3D element, to Showell
3. Within the document you are creating, create a link towards said item within Showell
4. Upload your now finished document to Showell as well
5. In the Showell App: When clicking the link within the document, it will now open the corresponding file from within the document.
