The Governance Documents section is located under Documents in the navigation bar. Administrators, Board Secretaries, and Chairs can add documents.

BoardPro will accept most common file types that a governance board would use. Accepted file types: .csv, .doc, .docm, .docx, .dot, .dotm, .dotx, .em, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .msg, odp, .ods, .odt,.pdf, .png, potm, .potx, pps, ppsm, .ppt, .pptm .pptx, .rtf, .txt, .xls, .xlsb, .xlsm, .xlsx, .xlt and .xltx

  • accepted files up to 50MB in size

  • You can add 10 files simultaneously at a time

On this page, documents/files can be added directly into the repository to be found "loosely" or added to folders by clicking or dragging them from the source.

Guidelines for Accepted File Names

File names can include:

  • Letters (a-z, A-Z)

  • Numbers (0-9)

  • Hyphens (-), underscores (_), spaces

  • Dots (.) and parentheses (())

Special Characters

  • The ampersand symbol (&) and macrons are allowed.

  • HTML-like characters (e.g., <, >, >) should be renamed. When uploaded, these will automatically be replaced with an underscore (_) to prevent errors.

Important Notes

  • File names must not begin or end with a dot (e.g., .hiddenFile or file.).

  • Files with restricted characters (e.g., from older uploads) can remain, but future uploads or renaming with these characters will not be allowed.
