You can attach media to your help center knowledge base articles.
When you attach media to an article, you can select the file you want to attach from the media library, a place to store and manage images and attachments.
To attach media to an article
- In your help center or Guide Admin, create a new article or edit an existing article.
- Click Article settings at the bottom of the sidebar.
- Click Manage attachments.
The media library opens and displays all media attached to this article. You can select the tabs to display the media you want to work with:
- This article: Displays all media attached to this article.
- Your media: Displays all media that you've uploaded to your account.
- All media (Guide admins only): Displays all media that have been uploaded to your account.
- If you want to upload a new attachment to the media library, click Upload media, then browse to the attachment you want to upload and click Open to add it to the media library.
Note: Alternatively, you can drag and drop your media file directly into the media library to upload it.
- Select the media you want to attach, then click Attach media
The media appears with other article attachments under the Attachments section in Article settings.
- Click Save.
If the article has been published, the attachments now appear as links at the bottom of the published article.

There are self-referential links in the article:
Also - please list supported file types for replacing media. I was quite disappointed to find out that CSV files aren't supported for replacing media
Echoing Yaakov's comment.
Previously, we were able to attach any type of file to our articles. We often supplied files that were specific to the product we support (so not commonly known). Wit this new limitation, we now have to come up with another method to deliver these files to our customers.
A little disappointing to say the least.
Please list of the media types allowed in this article. How are we supposed to figure this out apart from trial and error? Thanks
Please provide list of file types allowed. IN addition to that please explain how I may add a PDF or other document as an attachment
