ADKN allows you to upload any document to the site. This can then be accessed within the site, and you can also copy the URL so that you can link to it from other parts of the site, on other websites or in emails. Using the ADKN document library is a great way to share documents and to avoid sending people emails with big attachments.
But how do you use it? Read this tutorial to find out how!
Articles Tutorial
ADKN’:s most powerful functionality is the ability to make articles. These are stand-alone web pages that you make using a mini-word processor. What makes the functionality so powerful is that you can inlude pictures and links (both to other things in ADKN or external websites). This means that you can make web pages with organizational profiles, project information, interviews, perspectives, and pretty much anything else that comes to mind!
The functionality for making articles is really simple, but if you want hep, read this tutorial to learn more.
