The Single Document feature lets you provide attendees with a PDF or image in a simple, one-click view. This is similar to the Documents feature, though with Single Documents, only one document launches immediately when an attendee clicks or taps the feature.
For important information that's best in hard-copy form, the Single Document feature is best! 🏆
⭐️ Keep in mind, though this article refers to Events, these instructions apply to Communities, too.

Here are some ways others have used the Single Document feature:
Welcome letter - A quick letter from the event organizer, premiere sponsor, or CEO is a great way to get attendees excited and make them feel welcome.
Health policy - Safety policies are a common question and concern for attendees, and using the Single Document feature to showcase your event's health policy is a great, high-visibility way to proactively provide this information.

Seating chart or table assignments - Helping guide your attendees around the venue and activities at every step helps them feel confident and at ease so they can focus on having a good time.
VIP doc - Consider using the Single Document feature for any group-specific information that's best available in hard-copy form, such as a VIP party flyer. Use the Visible to setting to ensure only the Groups who need it can see it.
