Adding and Editing Documents

How to add, edit, or remove catalogs, brochures, and datasheets

3.1 What makes up a document

Each document in the catalog system consists of the following information:

Field	Required	Notes
Document title	Yes	The name customers see on the website, for example a model or product name
Brand	Yes	Chosen from the brand list already configured (see Chapter 2)
Type	Yes	Catalog / Brochure / Datasheet, determines the colored label shown on the website
PDF file	Yes	The file customers will open or download
Preview image	Optional	A cover image. You usually do not need to supply one: when you upload a PDF, the system renders its first page into a preview automatically. Upload your own only if you want a different cover

Three document types

• Catalog: A document covering multiple products
• Brochure: A short introduction to a product or product line
• Datasheet: Technical information for a single product

3.2 Adding a new document

1. Open the Produkt-Manager: Log into miraCMS and select your project. Open the “Product Catalog” section.
2. Click “+ New Document”: A form opens, split into two sections: Catalog info (title, brand, type) and Files (PDF and preview image).
3. Fill in the details and upload files: Enter the document title, choose the brand and type, then upload the PDF file.
4. Save: The document appears in the list immediately and goes live on the website once the site rebuilds (see Chapter 5).

3.3 Editing an existing document

Tap a document’s card in the list to reopen the same form. Edit whichever field needs changing (for example a new title, a newer PDF version, or adding a preview image that was missing), then save.

Updating a document version

When a manufacturer releases a new version of a catalog, you don’t need to create a whole new document. Open the existing one and upload the new PDF file over the old one. The link and its position on the website stay the same.

3.4 Deleting a document

Open the document card’s menu and choose “Delete”. The document disappears from the website as soon as the site rebuilds.

Caution

Deleting a document cannot be undone from the management panel. Double-check before deleting. If you delete something by mistake, contact the miraTEQ team to see whether it can be recovered.

3.5 Ordering documents within a brand

Drag document cards in the list to reorder them. This order matches exactly how documents are displayed on the website within that brand, useful for pushing your most popular or most recent documents to the top.
