Step 5- Download File from Link (optional)

Once you have opened the publishing link in a browser window, the file can be downloaded by adding ?dl=1 to the the URL. Once ?dl=1 is added to the URL, click Enter/Return on your keyboard and the file will download to your computer.

For example if the URL in your web browser is:

http://static.3playmedia.com/p/projects/0000/files/01234/captions.dfxp?format_id=7&project_id=01234

add &dl=1 to the URL in the web browser so it looks like this:

http://static.3playmedia.com/p/projects/0000/files/01234/captions.dfxpformat_id=7&project_id=01234&dl=1

Once Enter/Return is clicked it will immediately save the file to your computer.
