Supported Elements for File Download

The feature is built to work across the most commonly used visual elements.

Buttons: Great for CTA-based downloads like “Download Now.”

SVGs: Enable custom graphics to trigger a download.

Customizing the Downloaded File Name

Personalize the file download name for brand consistency or clarity.

Avoid technical or confusing filenames for better professionalism.
