Resources are files that are available for others to access. You can add resources to an entire group type, which will be available to all groups in that type, or you can add a resource to a group. You can also make resources accessible to only leaders or both leader and members.
The types of files that you can add to a group include:
- PDFs

- Text files
- Small image files
- Small videos (50Mb or less)
Resources are listed in alphabetical order based on their name.
