### Tips & Tricks for Managing Downloads:

* **Use Clear File Names** – Keep names descriptive, e.g., *"Exhibitor\_Manual\_2024.pdf"* instead of *"Manual123.pdf"*.
* **Organise by Title/ Description** – If you have many downloads, you could use the Title & Description area to make it easier to navigate long lists (e.g., Marketing, Logistics, Compliance).
* **Regularly Review Files** – Keep downloads up to date to ensure users always have the latest information.
* **Optimise File Sizes** – Large files can slow down downloads. Compress images and PDFs if necessary.
* **Check Accessibility** – Ensure your files don't include any sensitive information.

By keeping your downloads well-organised and up to date, you provide users with an efficient and seamless experience.
