How to add a PDF to a Session's Details
Suppose you're hosting a crucial workshop and need to provide a PDF for attendees to review beforehand.
Tip: Instead of emailing it, you can add it directly to Cadence.
Adding a PDF to a Session
To do this, navigate to the session from the Schedule Menu.
Example: Adding a PDF to a Workshop
For instance, let's say you have a session titled Workshop and you want to add some light reading material. In this case, you have a PDF of Sun Tzu's The Art of War.
What Your Session Details Might Look Like
Your session details might resemble the image below.
Now, click on the Materials tab.
Click on the Plus Sign ( + )
Doing so will open a page where you can create a Materials Section within the Session's Details.
Enter Section Name and Text (Optional)
For example, I'm naming my section, "Materials (please read before workshop)".
Visibility Settings: This section is visible to all event participants by default. To restrict access, use the Visible To option.
Next, hit the Save button.
After the page refreshes, you'll find options under the Links header.
