# File Block | Website Manual

**File Block**

Use the WordPress File Block when a page needs a downloadable document, such as a brochure or information sheet.

Coming soon

We are recording a new video for this one.

Tick them off as you go.

**Not seeing your change?**

Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

### Good to know

Use the WordPress File Block when a page needs a downloadable document, such as a brochure or information sheet. Before changing the download, check which file should be available and whether the page already links to an older version.

After publishing, open the link and confirm it serves the intended document. If the brochure changes your services, prices or specifications, review the pages that repeat those facts too.

### The brochure changed. What else needs to change?

Your website should be handled. Not handed back to you.
