❖ Heads up! This article is intended for Site Managers.
You can store important documents on your site to share with volunteers as needed. This feature is great for storing important training materials or other documents and resources.
The Files area of your site is not the same as User Files. Files are site-wide. User Files are user-specific.
Files are great when you want to accomplish any of the following:
You have training materials that each volunteer must complete before volunteering for a Need or Opportunity on your site and you want to share the training documentation with a Prerequisite or Qualification
You want to store important documents, worksheets, or resources that others on your site might need quick access to
You have important content that you want to store in one shared location
Sharing Important Files
From your Site Manager panel, go to Content > Files. This is where you can upload your files and create folders to organize them.

To create a folder:
Type the title in the field beside Add Folder.
Click Add.
Click on the folder's title to start adding files!
How to Add Files to a Folder

Sharing Files
Go to Content > Files.
