Resources are the files you need to share with people, like meeting guides or short videos. You can add a resource to a single group or share it across all groups in a group type, and you can make resources accessible to only leaders or all members. All group members are notified when a resource is added.
Important
Resources are listed chronologically by the most recent update.
The types of files that you can add to a group include:
-
PDFs
-
Microsoft Word documents
-
Text files
-
Small audio files
-
Small image files
-
Small videos (50Mb or less)
The maximum allowed file size is 50Mb. For larger files, it is recommended to upload the file to a separate hosting platform and create a private link to the file that you can share from the Resources page.
-
You can host larger media files on a service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Amazon S3.
-
Large video files can be posted on a video platform like YouTube or Vimeo.
From a group page, go to the Resources tab and select Add a group resource.
In the New group resource popup, choose File Upload or URL Link.
-
Link: Enter a URL to link to a website.
-
Name: Enter a name to display it on the resource list. The actual file name or URL will not be visible there.
-
Description: Enter the purpose of the resource or when to use it.
-
Access: Allow only leaders or all members to access the resource.
Select Upload group resource to upload the file or add the link to your Resources tab. All resources will be listed with labels showing who can access them.
Important
An administrator can edit or delete any resources, but a group leader can only edit or delete resources they have personally added.
To edit a resource, select Edit in the resource list. Make any needed changes or delete the resource.
Shared resources let you upload a file or share a link once and make it available to multiple groups. It's a quick way to keep resources consistent and easy to access!
Administrators can add, edit, or delete shared resources across all groups, while group type managers can only add, edit, or delete ones in groups within the group types they manage. Group leaders cannot add shared resources.
