Link to the file: With the text still selected, click on the link icon in the toolbar. In the link settings, select "External URL" and paste the URL of the file you uploaded in step 1.
Style the link: Customize the design of the text link element to match your site's aesthetics using the Style panel.
Update your site: Once you're satisfied with the changes, publish or republish your site for the changes to take effect.
