Choose the files included with a digital product
Digital product files have two stages: a file can exist in the library, and it can be included with a particular product. Check both before offering a download for sale.
Before uploading
Prepare the final customer file, check that it opens and confirm you can distribute it. Use a clear filename and keep the original. A downloadable pattern, for example, should contain the intended size range and instructions before you link it to the product.
Choose an existing library file
- Open the saved product from Product Management and choose Advanced.
- Review Product Type and the intended Digital choice.
- Under Product Files, select Manage files.
- Compare All Files with Files included in the named product.
- Beside the intended library file, select Add to product and check that it moves into the product’s included list.
- To change that selection, use Remove in the included list. This is different from deleting the library file.
- Use the file manager’s Save changes & close to return the selection to the product editor.
- Complete the product editor’s Save changes & close, then reopen Manage files to verify the saved inclusion list.
Upload a new file
- In Manage product files, select Upload Files and choose the intended local file.
- Review the queued filename and any type or size message. Remove a mistaken queue entry before uploading.
- Select Start Upload and review progress and errors.
- When the library refreshes, find the uploaded file and use Add to product.
- Save the selection back to the editor and save the product, as above.
Understand the different save scopes
Uploading to the library and saving a product’s inclusion list are separate actions. Treat a completed upload or confirmed library deletion as an applied file action; closing the manager or cancelling the main product editor should not be used as an undo procedure for it.
Removing a link or deleting a file?
Use Remove when the intended change is to the current product’s included-file list. Delete is a library-file action with its own confirmation. Review other products and existing purchases before deleting or replacing a shared file.
Before selling or replacing a download
Use a test order to follow the download journey: check the product page, confirmation/payment state, delivery message, customer access and the actual file received. Check how a new file or changed inclusion list affects earlier purchases. Do not assume that a file visible in Builder proves a customer can download it.

If the intended download is missing or is the wrong version
- Check the exact product and its Product Type, then reopen Manage files.
- Compare All Files with Files included in the named product. A file in the library is separate from its inclusion with this product.
- Compare the full filename and intended revision with the file you prepared. Check the product’s saved inclusion list before assuming an uploaded file replaced the customer’s download.
- For an existing purchase, keep the order reference and payment/access state with the intended filename. Follow the digital-product access checks before promising access or recording another order.
Keep shared library files available while investigating earlier purchases. Removing a product link, replacing library content and deleting a file have different scopes; do not use a public file link as a workaround for unresolved customer access.
