To offer collectors access to something like a private video, secret webpage, or bonus files — the best way is to embed the link inside a PDF or include it in a ZIP file — and upload that as your digital release item.
Here are two easy options:
Option 1: Link inside a PDF
Create a doc in Google Docs, Word, or similar with your link and any extra context.
Make the link clickable using the insert link tool or add a QR code.
Export the file as a PDF.
Upload the PDF as your digital item in the release editor.
Collectors will receive the PDF and can click through to your link.
Option 2: Bundle files in a ZIP folder
(Best for multiple files like audio, images, or a text doc with links)
Create a new folder on your computer.
Add all the files you want to share, including any notes or link documents.
Compress the folder into a ZIP file:
On Mac:
Right-click (or two-finger click) the folder
Choose “Compress [Folder Name]”
A .zip file will appear in the same location
On Windows:
Right-click the folder
Select “Send to” and then “Compressed (zipped) folder”
A .zip file will appear in the same location
Upload the ZIP file as your digital item in the release editor.
Collectors will receive the full ZIP file when they collect your release.
