Navigate to the Content menu tab. Paste the ID number you copied into the Download ID field. There are a few other features, so let’s go through them.

Download Button content
  • Download Link Text. Here you are able to change the text, which will be displayed on a button;
  • Download Link Sub Text. In case the main title is not enough for you, here is also the field where you can type in a short piece of additional information. Besides the text, you can use the %size% macros in order to automatically showcase the size of the file;
  • Add nofollow. When enabled, this toggle adds a “nofollow” tag to the button’s link;
  • Download Link Icon. This is where you can select a decorative element (an icon) to add to the button. It can be selected from the Icon Library or downloaded as an SVG file.

Afterward, move on to the Style block, where you can personalize the button’s look. When all the customization is over, hit the “Update” button below.

You are done! Now, go to your website, refresh it and have a look at how Download Button works. Enjoy!
