+## Query for `File` in GraphQL queries using gatsby-source-filesystem
+
+You can query the `publicURL` field of `File` nodes found in your data layer to trigger copying those files to the public directory and get URLs to them.
+
+Examples:
+
+* Copy all `.pdf` files you have in your data layer to your build directory and return URLs to them:
+
+  ```graphql
+  {
+    allFile(filter: { extension: { eq: "pdf" } }) {
+      edges {
+        node {
+          publicURL
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+* Copy post attachments defined in your Markdown files:
+
+  Link to your attachments in the markdown frontmatter:
+
+  ```markdown
+  ---
+  title: "Title of article"
+attachments:
+  - "./assets.zip"
+  - "./presentation.pdf"
+  ---
+
+  Hi, this is a great article.
+  ```
+
+  In the article template component file, you can query for the attachments:
+
+  ```graphql
+  query TemplateBlogPost($slug: String!) {
+    markdownRemark(fields: { slug: { eq: $slug } }) {
+      html
+      frontmatter {
+        title
+        attachments {
+          publicURL
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
