Upload documents and create links in modern pages
Martin-Coupal This is alright, but far from ideal particularly from a general user perspective who just wants to upload a file as they're adding text. They are hardly likely to know to do this. It also seems quite heavy handed to have to insert a widget to do this which, in addition, results in the widget having to be on an entirely different row to the text it's related to, rather than just a link saying something like "View/download this document"
Rory2019 I understand this requires more efforts but this would be the way to go in modern for now if the requirement is to insert links (instead of using the file viewer webpart) and be able to upload a document that would be stored in the site assets library.
Also, it is possible to use sections and columns layout to put the links next to the text.
Martin-Coupal It frustrates me that i have to figure out a load of workarounds, which the average user will not know how to do, to get what is essentially a very basic feature of any CMS.
Rory2019 I understand. The text web part needs to include these features. I always give a training to people who creates site pages and normally they are up and running after.
