How to Choose a Name for a File
Learn how to choose a title and file name for a file.
Adding a Title
Adding a title is required for accessibility issues.
When choosing a Title for a file, such as a PDF, Word document, or Powerpoint presentation, consider using the document's original title. If the title is too long, create a shorter title based on the actual given title. At the very end of the last word, add a space and the capitalized extension, PDF, DOCX, or PPT, respectively. For example: Faculty and Staff Orientation PDF.
Adding a File Name
When adding a file, before uploading it, be sure that it is named properly. All file names should be lower-case, use dashes for spaces, have no punctuation, and end with the file extension. For example: faculty-and-staff-orientation.pdf.
