Resources refer to the actual files, such as documents and images for example, that can be used as part of your stories and/or dispatches. When a resource is uploaded to Connect, it can be used in multiple stories and dispatches. An unlimited number of resources can be uploaded to Connect, using these steps:

1. Select Add Resource under Resources in the main navigation panel
2. Insert the title or name of your resource, as it will appear in the library
3. Click on the Browse button to locate the desired resource
4. Enter additional details, notably
• Type - the type field defines whether the resource is a file, image, link and more. This field will automatically be populated, based on the type of file you upload. For example, files with a JPEG, GIF or PNG extension will instantly default to an image file type
• Owner - usually refers to the individual responsible for uploading the resource. This defaults to the user currently logged into Connect, but can be altered to include any active staff member
• Description - an optional field used to describe the resource you are uploading
• Folder - indicates the folder that the resource will be placed under
5. Select the save icon, after which the resource is uploaded and is placed in the correct folder
