Resource & Attachments Revamp

Audit and redesign how files, links, resources, and attachments work throughout The Scouting Exchange so their purpose and behavior are clear and consistent.

Resources should function as reusable items in a Den’s private resource library, while attachments should belong directly to the activity, meeting-plan segment, at-home assignment, or other item they support.

The revamp should make it easy for leaders to:

• Upload or link supporting materials directly where they are needed.

• Attach existing Resources from their Den library.

• Add attachments to any appropriate Meeting Plan segment, not only Activities.

• Control whether supporting content is leader-only, family-safe, or eligible to be shared publicly.

• Publish Activities with eligible attachments intact instead of unexpectedly removing them.

• Copy or save shared Activities with their intended supporting materials.

• Clearly understand when a private Resource will remain private versus when an attachment will travel with shared content.

This work should include an audit of the existing Resource/attachment data model, publication workflow, Exchange sharing and copying behavior, Meeting Plans, At-Home Assignments, and parent-facing access so supporting materials behave predictably across the app.
