Web Documents can be viewed by a user in their Web Browser without having to download any additional files.
These should be your preferred means of creating documents for your users, as they are in-line with UK Government guidelines on ensuring documents are accessible to as many users as possible, without the need for additional software.


Web Documents can be created within WCS using the same Content Editor used to create Pages.


  1. Within the Documents section, navigate to the Folder in which you wish to create your Web Document.

  2. Click the Add Document button above the main file view which will bring up a form to fill in the details of your document:
  3. Underneath the 'Document:' form option, select the 'Web Document' tab to create a new Web Document.


  4. Enter your Document Content within the editor (note that you can easily copy + paste content from Microsoft Word into the editor), and fill in the other required fields before clicking the Add Document button below the form to complete the process.

  5. If you navigate to the relevant folder within the Documents section, your document should now appear with a Globe icon, indicating that it is a Web Document. 

    Clicking the title will take you to the Content of the Document itself.
