Document Libraries
A DHQ Library is a secure, centralized location within a DHQ site where users can store, organize, manage, and collaborate on files such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, and more.
It functions like a shared drive or file repository, but with advanced features such as version control, metadata, and permissions.
Key Features:
