ClickFunnels makes it easy to upload, manage, and deliver these files directly through your account, eliminating the need for external hosting services. In this article, you’ll learn how to upload digital downloads to your ClickFunnels account, manage them effectively, and deliver them to your customers. ![Downloads Menu](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/t3jb4ioo1nwspkutbuktyoapxexlyt8uag.png) --- ## Requirements - An active ClickFunnels account - Files stored on your local device - Supported categories: image, audio, video, and documents(.pdf, .docx, .txt, etc) - Maximum file size: 3,000 MB (3 GB) --- ## Upload Downloadable Files in Assets 1. From the ClickFunnels Dashboard, navigate to the **Workspace Settings**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-KYTRC1I3.png) 2. Select **My Assets**.. 3. Click on the **Downloads** tab. 4. Click the **Upload File** button to add a new video. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-22LIUESV.png) 5. In the **Name** field, enter the name of the file. > [!TIP] > **Tips:** > > A clear and consistent naming convention is crucial for managing and retrieving your digital downloads efficiently, especially as your library of downloadable content grows. Use a format that reflects the nature and purpose of the file, such as “`Project Name - File Type/Content - Version/Date`” (e.g., “`Healthy Living Guide - Ebook - v2`”). This approach makes it easier to identify and organize your files, ensuring you can quickly deliver the right content to your audience. 6. In the **File** section, click the **Upload file** button to upload a file from your local storage. You can upload one file at a time. Remember, this category can include `images`, `audio files`, `videos`, and `documents(.pdf, .docx, .txt, etc)`. The maximum file size limit is **3,000 MB (3 GB)**. 7. In the **Preview Image** section, you have the option to upload an image that will serve as a visual representation of the file. This preview image enhances the user experience by providing a clear visual cue for the downloadable content, making it easier for users to identify the file. When the download elements are added inside the Granted Assets Collection element in a course, this image is automatically fetched and displayed. If no preview image is uploaded, the **Download Image** element will not render, and users won’t see any image associated with the file. 8. Click **Create File** to finalize and upload the file to your assets. --- ## How to Showcase Digital Downloads in a Course The [**Granted Assets**](/v1/docs/collections-granted-assets-show-assets-granted-to-users) collection element in ClickFunnels allows you to dynamically display all digital downloads granted to a specific user. This feature is particularly useful in **Course Home, Module,** and **Lesson** template pages where you want to give students easy access to their downloadable resources. 1. Access the **Courses** app and select a course to edit. 2. Click **Customize** to access the course editor. 3. Switch to the **Course** or **Templates** tab to access the course home, module, and lesson template pages. 4. You can display granted assets on the **Course Home**, the **Default Module Page,** and the **Default Lesson Page**. Select one of them to edit the page. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-CDTMK7LS.png) 5. In the page editor, click the orange **Add Element** or **Plus Icon (+)** to add a new element. 6. Search for and add the **Granted Assets** collection element to your lesson page. This collection will serve as the container for the downloadable files. ![Add Granted Assets Collection Element](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/u-b4erijxwdh8z5napt1jru3pecjhe68ng.png) 7. Inside the **Granted Assets** collection, add a row with a single column or multiple columns, depending on how you want to structure your download display. 8. Within the **Granted Assets** container, insert the **Download** elements that are designed to work within this collection: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-1DY73WYH.png) - **Download Title**: Automatically generates and displays the title of the digital download file. - **Download Link**: Creates a clickable hyperlink that allows the user to download the file directly. - **Download Image**: Auto-populates with the preview image associated with the digital download file. 9. Once the student accesses the course and visits the home, module, or lesson page, a collection of digital downloads will be displayed, allowing them to download their granted assets easily. > [!NOTE] > **Note:** > > Ensure that digital download files are granted to the contact’s profile for them to dynamically populate in the course template pages.

Using Workflows Digital downloads can be automatically sent to your contacts as part of a workflow in ClickFunnels. This is especially useful when you want to deliver downloadable assets after a user completes specific actions (getting tag, course completed, etc) in your workspace. Here’s how you can set up this process: 1. From your ClickFunnels dashboard, go to **Automations** and select **Workflows**. 2. You can create a new workflow or edit an existing one. 3. In the workflow editor, add a new action step and select **Send Asset** from the list of available actions. ![Send Asset Step](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/2ugup75fojtu716tkgxhwdobwaf7itfc2a.png) 4. In the **Send Asset** step, choose the digital download file you’ve uploaded to your **My Assets** section. If you have not done it already, you can upload the file by clicking the **+ New Asset** button in the open prompt. ![Select Asset](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/dcdh5cecdzimm9c2c2zrys0jx4lfsng2ww.png) 5.

From your ClickFunnels dashboard, click **Products** and select **All Products**. 2. Create a new product or edit an existing product from the list. 3. Scroll down to the **Purchase Actions** section. 4. Click the **Plus (+)** icon next to the **Digital Asset Access** option. ![Digital Asset Access](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/80oswedhshjgvfhbcsfnt3gyuqcsd77shw.png) 5.

Linking Digital Downloads in Pages or Emails After uploading a file in the Downloads section within My Assets, ClickFunnels automatically generates a unique URL for that file. This URL can be used to link the file directly within your funnel pages or emails, making it easily accessible to your audience. Additionally, the file URL can be shared externally outside of ClickFunnels for broader distribution. Here’s how you can link a digital download: 1. In the **My Assets » Downloads** section, locate the file you want to link. 2. Click the **Copy** icon next to the file to copy the file’s URL. ![Copy File URL](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/v0gviutbzfmsqsznl2dl_dj3drrwq_buyw.png) 3. Go to the funnel page or email where you want to place the download link and click **Edit Page** or **Edit Email** to open the editor. 4. In the **Page Editor**, insert a **Button** element where you want the download link to appear. Set the button action by selecting **Go To** from the action menu, then choose **Custom URL**. Paste the copied URL into the provided field. ![Paste URL](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/drkvtctfx7gjrvmbnk4zt60rnqn8r3zmqg.png) 5. In the **email editor**, insert a **Button** element where you want the download link to appear. Set the button link type action as **Open web page**. Paste the copied URL into the **URL** field. ![Paste URL](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/xmcfu6c_cd56hroypxtzdcop436ho1dqkw.png) 6. Save the changes by applying the download link to your page or email. When users click the button, the file will automatically download to their device. --- ## How to Manually Grant Digital Assets to Contacts Manually granting digital assets to contacts in ClickFunnels allows you to provide specific content directly through their profiles.

Once the asset is granted, it becomes available in the contact’s Customer Center for download. Here’s how to do it: 1. From your ClickFunnels dashboard, go to the **Customers** menu and select **Contacts** to access the list of your contacts. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-JMAGDKLW.png) 2. Choose the contact you want to grant a digital asset to by clicking on their name, which will open their contact profile. 3. In the contact’s profile, navigate to the **Fulfillments / Assets** tab to view any assets already granted to the contact. 4. Scroll to the **Granted Digital Assets** section to manage or view existing assets. 5. Click the **Grant Digital Asset** option to add a new asset, opening a selection window. ![Grant Digital Asset](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/_g-obkomnprmaxoyewfxcdj5sagrnn8xva.png) 6. From the dropdown menu in the window, select the asset you want to grant, then click **Create Granted Asset** to save the changes. 7. The contact will receive an email notification informing them that the download is available in their Customer Center. Afterwards, they have to follow these steps: 1.

Clicking the Download icon will download the resource to their local storage. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-SBLDI58J.png) ## Related - ['Send Asset' Step - Deliver Digital Content Automatically](/send-asset-step-deliver-digital-content-automatically.md) - [Uploading Digital Assets](/uploading-digital-assets.md) - [Uploading Course Videos](/uploading-course-videos.md) - [Uploading Audio Files](/uploading-audio-files.md) - [Uploading Custom Fonts](/uploading-custom-fonts.md) - [How to Create and Manage Products](/how-to-create-and-manage-products.md)
