      Types of Resources

      🔗 Adding a Link

      1. Click Add link

      2. Enter the URL and a display name. 

      The icon is set automatically, using the destination website's favicon when available.

      Tip: You can add links to ahead pages, such as News, Stories or Communities. These links will display with the ahead icon.

      If you prefer a more visual layout with larger cards, you can use the ahead Content module instead.

       

      📎 Uploading Attachments

      1. Click Upload file

      2. Choose a file from your device

      3. Add a display name

      Notes:

      • Files must be uploaded one at a time

      • All formats are allowed (PDF, images, audio, Word, etc.)

      • Maximum file size: 50MB

      🗂️ Linking M365 document

      1. Click Microsoft 365

      2. Search for the file by name

      3. Click Apply

      ⚠️ Only users who already have access to the file in Microsoft 365 will be able to view it. ahead ID users will not be able to access any M365 resources under any circumstances.

       

      Both attachments and M365 files in the Resources module work the same way as in the Documents Building Block in News and Pages that you might already be familiar with.


       

      When to use Quicklinks vs. Resources Hub modules?



      Use the Resources module when:

      • You want to create Hub-specific resources that are only relevant in this Hub.

      • You want the freedom to manage links and files yourself (no admin needed).

      • You’re okay with a more compact visual style, where links appear as small cards with smaller icons.

      Use the Quicklinks module when:

      • You want to reuse global links across multiple Hubs or in the megamenu.

      • Links need to be managed by intranet admins in the Company Settings area.

      • You prefer a visual style with large icons that are easier to spot.
