What is the Download File Action?

The Download File action lets parents and prospective families download a file (PDF, image, ZIP, etc.) when they click a button, image, or graphic on your enrollment page or site. This is ideal for parent handbooks, enrollment packets, tuition guides, or any digital resource you want to share instantly—no code or tech skills required.

  • Instantly share downloadable resources like enrollment forms, parent handbooks, or tuition schedules
  • No need for external download services or complicated setups
  • Works on buttons, images, and custom graphics
  • Simple one-click setup

  1. Open your enrollment page or site in the editor
  2. Select the Button, Image, or SVG element you want to make downloadable

Which Elements Support File Downloads?

You can add file downloads to these common page elements:

  • Buttons: Perfect for clear calls-to-action like "Download Enrollment Packet" or "Get Tuition Guide"
  • Images: Make icons, logos, or graphics clickable for instant downloads
  • SVGs: Use custom graphics to trigger downloads

Customizing the Download File Name

Make your downloads look professional and clear for parents.

When you link a file, you can rename it to something more meaningful. For example, change "file_123.pdf" to "Sunshine_Academy_Enrollment_Guide.pdf." This keeps downloads organized and professional for busy parents.

Pro Tips

Keep file names parent-friendly: Use clear, descriptive names like "Parent_Handbook_2025.pdf" instead of technical file names.

Test before sharing: Always preview your page and test the download to make sure the right file is attached.

Common use cases: Enrollment applications, parent handbooks, tuition schedules, program calendars, health forms, or facility tour guides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add more than one download to a button?

No. Each button or image can only link to one downloadable file. If you need to share multiple files, consider creating a ZIP file or using multiple buttons.

What file types can I use?

Any file stored in your Media Library works—PDFs, images, Word documents, ZIPs, and more.

Can I track who downloads my files?

File downloads aren't tracked automatically. If you need to know who downloaded something, pair the download with a form submission and use an automation to track it.

Will parents see a preview or start a direct download?

When a parent clicks the button or image, the file downloads immediately to their device—no preview screen.

Can I use this for enrollment forms?

Yes! This is a great way to offer downloadable enrollment forms. Just remember that parents will need to fill them out offline and return them to you. For online form submissions, use Enrollio's built-in form features instead.

What to Do Next
