Prevent downloads (view-only)

  1. Open your Room → Edit.

  2. Add a Large or Carousel section.

  3. Upload the file (or paste a link/embed).

  4. Save.

Result: Visitors can preview the content inline; no download button is shown in Room.

Tip: Large is great for a single, prominent preview; Carousel is best when showcasing several items.

Important: If you embed/link to a third-party source (e.g., Google Drive/OneDrive), that external page may still allow downloading. To fully control access, upload the file to Aligned instead of linking.


Allow downloads

  1. Open your Room → Edit.

  2. Add a Files & Examples or File Sharing section.

  3. Upload the file(s).

  4. Save.

Result: A download option appears so visitors can save the file.


Note

By choosing the right section type, you fully control whether a file is downloadable or view-only in Aligned.
