…but what are the signatures for?

You’ll notice that there’s also a signatures section on the page when you add a new download item. In most cases, you don’t need to worry about this. Periodically we will add new required GAA policies to the site that will use these fields.

Why is my download showing the wrong item?

Sometimes your downloads section may show you the wrong content eg you may want to display multiple files, but when you click on it you are taken to the wrong item. One reason for this may be because you have filled out some of the extra fields on the page.

The Downloads section has a priority system in place, in which it will show one thing over another. The levels are like so:

1. GAA Policy template takes priority,
2. Then a Single File upload,
3. Then an External Link,
4. Then Multiple Files.

If your download is not showing what you want it to, please make sure that all the other areas are empty.
