A wedding generates paper: the agreed menu, the decor proof, the ID scan of the person who booked. The Documents tab keeps them with the event and lets you restrict identity scans to the people who may see them.
Open the event (here Ahmed & Sana Wedding) and choose Documents. The card Event documents has a File type… box, a checkbox ID / CNIC, an Upload button, a Search files box and an All types filter. A new event says "No files yet. Upload ID scans, menus, proofs or other documents here."
Before you upload, open File type… and choose what the file is: Menu, Proof / approval, Contract, Invoice / receipt, Photo, ID / CNIC (restricted) or Other. The box keeps your last choice for the next upload.
Press Upload and choose one file. Files can be up to 25 MB. The file is saved at once and appears as, for example, "Gold-Wedding-Menu-Ahmed-Sana.pdf · 3 KB · 16-Oct-2026 · Menu", with its own type box, a download icon and a bin.
Choose ID / CNIC (restricted) and upload the scan. Ahmed-Raza-CNIC.png appears with an amber Restricted badge even though the ID / CNIC box was not ticked.
For another private file, such as a signed agreement scan, tick ID / CNIC before you press Upload. Hover the box and it says it restricts viewing to users with the sensitive-documents permission. The file, here Venue-Agreement-Scan.png with the type Other, gets the Restricted badge.
Each row shows the name, the Restricted badge where it applies and "size · date · type". A file with no type reads "No type" and offers Set type…. Images have an eye icon, and every file has a download icon and a bin. The newest file is on top.
Type part of a name in Search files, for example "menu", and only Gold-Wedding-Menu-Ahmed-Sana.pdf remains.
Open the All types filter and choose a type such as Proof / approval. Only Stage-Decor-Proof.png remains. Choose All types to see everything again.
If a file is labelled wrongly, use the type box on its own row. Here Venue-Agreement-Scan.png now reads Contract and keeps its Restricted badge.
Upload an empty file and a red message says "The file is empty". Nothing is added.
Upload a file over 25 MB and the message says "File too large". Reduce the size and try again.
Press the eye icon on an image such as Stage-Decor-Proof.png. A window titled with the file name shows the picture, so you can check a proof without downloading it. Press Close when you are done. The eye is shown for images only, not for a PDF.
Press the bin on the row. The dialog says Delete "Old-Menu-Draft.pdf"? and "The file is permanently removed and the space is freed from your storage quota." Press Delete file.
The deleted file is gone and the others remain, restricted ones included.
