# How do I use Useful Documents?

## Useful Documents is a section of the general contractor's account where general resources and project-related materials can be stored and made accessible to workers.

As a general contractor administrator, you may have pertinent documents that need to be shared with workers.

These materials can range from: 

- Site maps
- Parking information for the site
- Directions to the site for workers
- Health and safety rules

If uploaded to Useful Documents, the materials can be made available to all workers on any given project, allowing workers to view and download the materials directly from their worker profile wherever they are. 

 

Important: If there is sensitive or need to know data that should not be shared with the public, we recommend hosting those documents on a third-party file system and sharing links with project members directly.
