Share documents and community announcements
Share reference text, download protected files and keep board updates current.
Step by step
Member: open Documents. For a text entry, choose Read document; for an uploaded PDF or text file, choose Download file. Downloads require your current signed-in community access.
Board: choose Add a document, then enter a title, category and the document text. Check the wording before saving.
On the self-hosted app, the board can also upload a PDF or UTF-8 text file. Choose a title and category, review the filename and size, then save. Members download the current file after signing in.
Board: use Edit details for a document or Edit announcement for an announcement, and provide a reason. Archive removes it from the active view. The board can inspect and restore archived items; the history stays intact.
For uploaded documents, Replace file publishes a new version with a reason. Board members can download previous file versions from the history. Previous versions continue to count toward the storage allowance.
To post a community update, open Meetings & events and choose Post announcement. Add a clear title and message.
Members can read recent announcements from the overview. New announcements and documents also appear in other eligible members’ notification center.
When both languages are needed, supply English and Spanish in the document or announcement yourself.
Before you continue
- The self-hosted library allows PDF and UTF-8 .txt files: 10 MiB per file and 100 MiB per association including previous versions. Files are downloaded, not displayed inside the app. No automated malware scan is configured; upload documents only from sources you trust. Word and image uploads are unavailable.
- The notification center shows in-app activity; email delivery and device push notifications are not connected. Publishing here does not by itself satisfy a formal notice requirement.
