You can add many different types of files to a new post. For example, you can add news about an event and attach a PDF about the event. You may be sharing a PDF product catalog with new introductions. You can also add a Word document (.doc) or an Excel file (.xls).

To share news with a PDF, Word, or Excel file,  please:

1. Log in to your Shop Local account.

Shop Local also offers a Library area. This is different than the news area. Library is for sharing files that may be continually referenced.
