Step 5 - Select your desired file and then click ‘open’

You will have to upload each file individually by repeating step 5. At present, Squarespace doesn’t offer the functionality to bulk upload files.

Step 6 - Close windows

Once you’ve uploaded your files or PDF, close down all the windows and discard the progress. You don’t need to save anything as the files will now be on the site regardless.
