Page Content Sections - Documents Section

The Documents Section displays part (or all) of your Document Library directly on a page. Documents are grouped under their category headings, with expandable/collapsible groups. The first category starts open; the rest start closed.

Adding one to a page

  1. Make sure your documents and categories are set up in the Document Library.
  2. Open the page and add a Documents Section in the content area.
  3. Enter a Section Title (internal only).
  4. Choose a Background Color if needed (affects the category block styling).
  5. In Document Categories, choose which categories to show — or leave blank to show the entire library structure.
  6. Make sure Active is on.
  7. Save.

If you use parent and child categories, select the parent when you want that entire branch to appear.

What visitors see

Only documents the visitor is allowed to view are shown. Each document displays its access icon, name, and date. Restricted (red) documents don't appear in front-end listings at all. Lapsed members see only public documents.

If a category has no visible documents and no child categories, the section shows a message noting there are no documents for that category at this time.

Tips

  • Use a focused category selection when the page covers one topic.
  • Leave categories blank when the page should serve as a broader document hub.
  • Add a Simple Text Section above this one if you want a visible heading or explanation.
  • Review document permissions carefully if lapsed members or the public need access to renewal or rejoin materials.
