### Description
The Download control allows users to download set files, either a static fixed file or a file originating from a **Document Service**.
***
### General Properties
The **Download** control inherits general Control Properties such as ‘Font size’, ‘Font color’ and ‘Icon color’.
***
### Special Properties
The **Download** control has a few special properties unique to it. These include:
| Name | Value | Explanation |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| FIle source | *Document service* or *Fixed file* | Determines additional properties |
| Document Service | A document service set in the *Tools* section of the *Platform* | Determines the source of the file |
| File identifier | If *File source* is set to *Document service* this value is free text. | |
| If *File source* is set to *Fixed file* this value will be a picker for a file | Either something to identify the external file with, or a fixed file value | |
| Icon color | Color | Changes the color of the download icon |
| Icon alignment | *Left*, *Right*, *Far left*, *Far right* | Changes the alignment of the icon, with the *Far* options putting the icon to the edge of that direction. |
***
### Tips & Best Practices
* When using an external file test if the File identifier works properly and doesn’t try to download a non-existing file
***
### Examples
The following example is the most basic form of a **Download** control. When tapped/clicked it will download the file that was set using the *File identifier* property. The icon directions are *Far left* and *Left*. Note how the *Far* options are to the edge of the Control, whilst the regular *Left* option is only to the left of the text.
