All Documents

Documents are a post type perfectly suited to displaying information about and letting your users download PDF files. This post type allows you to upload a file and add information about it, so your users can browse available books and documents on your site and download them.

The All Documents Screen

The All Documents screen inherits most of the features of the standard posts screen. You can edit, delete or view individual documents using the links under the document titles. You can select multiple documents for deletion and editing. A bulk edit feature allows you to change certain fields, en masse, for a group of documents. A handy in-line edit tool, called quick edit, allows you to update many fields for an individual document. Various search and filtering options allow you to find the document you want to edit or delete.

The Table of Documents

A table lists all of your documents. By default, the documents are listed with the newest document first, but they can also be sorted by title.
