Resources are the files you need to share with people, from meeting guides to short videos. You can add a resource to a single group or share it across all groups in a group type. You can make resources accessible to leaders or all members. All group members are notified when a resource to it is added.

Resources are listed chronologically by the latest update.
The types of files that you can add to a group include:
