3. Attach files to the article
This is another key feature we have released according to many users' requests.
How does it work? First of all, you should note the component attach files from scopes and there are scope templates. For instance, you can prepare a special HTML layout for attaching a file (button, class, etc) which depends on scope: audio, video and files come with different templates, so using this feature you even can embed media content inside of your article.
3.1. Template for the scope 'Audio'

Such an approach allows you to attach documents and change its layout using templates in component settings to comply with design standards of your Joomla template.
