So there you are, at your desk after creating/acquiring a magical file/document that will help your community members overcome certain challenges. You look at this information-saturated masterpiece and then suddenly realise itβs 24-pages long. Oh no! No one wants to read all of that in a single huge post on your community! And you certainly don't want to have to reformat it all over again...
Donβt worry! We've got your back! Proudly introducing File Uploads! Available right now in the community frontend and control! Upload files, like you have never uploaded files before: itβs seamless, secure and fast. You can also enable file uploads for some or all members of your community, if you believe that your community members would benefit from sharing files with each other.
How does it work?
Step 1: Upload file.
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Profit! (well-informed users).
Jokes aside, we hope you appreciate and use this new feature. Let us know what you think!
