I have added various documents to our family tree. I have invited my daughter to our tree by adding her e-mail address to her profile. She has gone to the site and created her password. She can view all the tree, all the people but it shows no documents. How do I fix this before I invite a whole load of cousins?

Jeff, Geni Curator There is no special permission on documents that would hide it. I would make sure she's looking in the correct place. -
Audrey Gillian AGER Thank you. I presumed she would look in the drop down menu under the 'Research' tab and then 'Documents'. I load documents that way. I now understand she has to click on the 'Media' tab in a profile. I have loaded an introduction document and a summary document which is general information I want all the family who visit to be able to see. If the only way to view documents is via a 'Media' tab on a profile no-one can see more general interest documents which relate to our family but not one person in particular? I'll have to link every document to everyone? This seems a bit clumsy - not to mention time-consuming for me!

Jeff, Geni Curator The 'Research' tab 'Documents' only shows you your documents. One method could be to view it via the Surname, such as https://www.geni.com/surnames/ager
That will show have a list of all the documents attached to public profiles with that surname. You could also link to shared documents in your About section. For most cases, documents are intended to be sources for facts, stories, etc and attached (tagged) to the profiles they include information on.
