The Documents tool allows you to centralize meeting minutes, registration documents or other important files you need to share with your members.

You can upload files to any Page, News Update or Activity by clicking on the post/page you would like to edit and then scrolling to the Documents module and adding a Label.

Start by adding a title in the Label field. Next, click the "Upload New File" button and locate the file on your computer or in one of the services available to connect. You can drag a file from your desktop or import one from Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Facebook or about a dozen other sources.

Once you’ve located the file, you’ll be back on the post/page editor. If you would like to add a second file to the post/page, click the plus sign that appears in the bottom right of the module. Once you click the plus sign, you’ll have a new uploader section.

When you’re finished uploading documents, just click "Update" or "Publish" and you’re set.
