You may be looking for a way to upload a document that only appears on the home page seen by members of a specific Group.
You want to add a file or a document to a Group so that it is prominently displayed on the Group members' home pages, rather than just on the Group's Wall.
As of right now, the platform does not have a direct feature to upload a file to a Group that then appears as a dedicated document gadget on the personalized member home page. The available options for a Group's main page typically include tabs like Wall, Polls, and Details. Posting a file on the Wall is possible, but it may not achieve the desired visibility on the personalized home page.
Leveraging Announcements for Visibility
To achieve high visibility for your document on a group member's home page, we recommend utilizing the Announcements feature and the relevant gadget on the home page.
1. Create the Announcement: If your document is a simple read-through file, create an Announcement in the platform.
2. Attach or Link the Document: Within the announcement, you can either attach the document or include a link to it (if it's hosted elsewhere).
3. Target the Group: Ensure the Announcement is specifically directed to the learners you intend to inform.
4. Pin to the Home Page: Use the Announcements gadget on the home page to pin the announcement. When users log in, your announcement—with the linked document—will be featured prominently on their home page.
This provides a great alternative for ensuring crucial resources are front-and-center for your targeted group of learners!
