Add resources

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.

Supported file types and sizes

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.

Add a resource to a group

From a group page, go to the Resources tab and select Add a group resource.

  • 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.

Add a shared 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.

Follow the steps below to add a shared resource:

  1. Select Groups from the top navigation.

  2. Select the ⚙️ settings icon.

  3. Choose Shared resources from the dropdown.

  4. On the Resources | All Groups page, select Upload shared resource.

  5. In the New shared resource popup, choose File Upload or URL Link.

    • File Upload: Select Choose File to browse your computer and add an existing file.

    • URL Link: Enter a URL to link to a website.

  6. Enter a name to display it on the resource list. The actual file name or URL will not be visible there.

  7. Enter the purpose of the resource or when to use it in the description box.

  8. Select the All groups dropdown to control which group types can access the resource.

  9. Select the Leaders only dropdown to choose whether only leaders or all members can access the resource.

  10. When you're ready, select Upload shared resource.

  11. (Optional) Select Edit next to a resource in the resource list to make changes or delete it.

Shared resources can be found on the Resources | All Groups page or in the Resources tab for any group with access.
