Documents

When running your club or organisation, there can be a myriad of documents that you need to share with your members, or other admins. Document Downloads allows you to keep them on your site to make them easily accessible. You can restrict who has access to which documents, meaning you can show different documents to the public, to members, and to your committee.

Tips

When uploading documents, be mindful of the amount of disk space you have left. This is displayed at the top of the Document Downloads page. You can purchase more disk space if you need it by making a request through the Service Desk.

PDFs are a good file format for documents that don’t need editing as they can be opened on all devices without extra software and are usually a smaller file size. PNGs are also recommended over JPEGs for images as they are smaller file sizes.
