Workbook 03

What you’ll learn

You don’t need to learn everything today. Just start here.

Lesson 1

Upload means give the website a file

What this is

Uploading happens when a website asks for a file from your device.

Job applications and forms use uploads all the time.

Try this

  1. Find the page asking for a file
  2. Look for Upload or Choose File
  3. Pause and decide which file you need
Tip: The website is asking you to point to one file.
Lesson 2

Use the file picker window

What this is

After you click Upload, a file picker opens.

That window is your device asking what file to use.

Try this

  1. Look for Downloads or Documents
  2. Open the folder where the file lives
  3. Select the file once
Tip: If the window opens, the upload process started.
Lesson 3

Confirm it worked

What this is

Most websites show the file name after you choose it.

That name is your clue that the site has the file.

Try this

  1. Look for the file name on the page
  2. Check that it is the right file
  3. Continue or submit when it looks right
Tip: If the wrong file appears, remove it and choose again.
Done

You finished this

You learned how websites receive files.

Uploading is choosing one file for a website.

That is a skill you can repeat.

If you ever get stuck, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
