Adding and Editing Documents
How to add, edit, or remove catalogs, brochures, and datasheets
3.1 What makes up a document
Section titled “3.1 What makes up a document”| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Yes | The name customers see on the website, for example a model or product name. Up to 160 characters |
| Brand | Yes | Chosen from your brands (Chapter 2). The field carries the word your website uses, for example “Manufacturer” |
| Type | Yes | Catalog, brochure or datasheet. It decides the coloured label on the website |
| PDF file | Yes | The file customers open or download. It is stored on cdn.mirateq.com |
| Preview image | Optional | A cover picture. You usually do not need one: when you upload a PDF, miraCMS turns its first page into a preview by itself. Upload your own only if you want a different cover |
3.2 Adding a new document
Section titled “3.2 Adding a new document”- Open the catalogue: sign in to miraCMS. With the right “Manage catalog”, you land there directly (Chapter 5.1)
- Press “+ New entry”: a form opens with the fields above
- Fill it in and upload the PDF: drag the file into the PDF field, or tap it to choose one
- Press “Save”: the document appears in the list straight away, and on the website after you publish (Chapter 5.4)
3.3 Editing an existing document
Section titled “3.3 Editing an existing document”Press “Edit” in the row of the document. The same form opens, now titled “Edit entry”. Change whatever needs changing, for example the title, or add a missing preview image, then press “Save”.
3.4 Deleting a document
Section titled “3.4 Deleting a document”Press “Delete” in the row of the document. miraCMS asks “Really delete this entry?”, you confirm with “Delete”. The document disappears from the website with the next publication.
The PDF file itself stays online at its address. If it must disappear from the internet as well, write to us. “Delete for good” in the PDF field only works for a file you uploaded by mistake, before saving.
3.5 Ordering documents within a brand
Section titled “3.5 Ordering documents within a brand”Drag a document by its handle ⠿ to move it up or down. This is exactly the order on the website within that brand, useful for putting your most requested or newest documents first.
