# Configured PDF disappeared after changing "Types of file"

**What you are seeing**

The configured PDF disappeared after changing "Types of file".

---

## Why it happens

Switching between Public URL, Existing Page Attachment and New File Upload deliberately clears the previous source.

---

## What to do

Pick the new source again. Avoid flipping the mode if you only meant to adjust display options.

---

## Settings involved

| **Setting**      | **Where**           | **What it does** |
| ---------------- | ------------------- | ---------------- |
| Get started page | Shown after install | \-               |
| Space settings   | n/a                 | \-               |

## A few things that catch people out

* Changing "Types of file" clears the configured source, and the display options disappear until a new one is chosen.
