This makes it easier for attendees to find, review, and print materials before or during a meeting. Boardable generates board packets directly from agenda items. Each document you attach to an agenda item is included in the final packet, in agenda order, ensuring a clear and consistent flow for readers. --- ### Prerequisites Before you create a board packet, make sure the following requirements are met: - You have access to board packets in your subscription. - If you are on [Core package](https://boardable.com/pricing-details/), contact your Account Manager to add board packets to your account. - You have created a meeting with an agenda. --- ### Create Board Packets 1. Go to the **Meetings** page and select the meeting. 2. Select the **Materials** tab. 3. In the **Agenda** pane, select **Edit**. 4. Select an agenda item. 5. Select **Attach a document**. 6. Upload a file from your device or attach a document from Boardable, OneDrive. - Board packets support the following file types: - Apple: `.key`, `.numbers`, `.pages` - Apache OpenOffice: `.odt`, `.ods`, `.odp` - Microsoft: `.doc`, `.docx`, `.xls`, `.xlsx`, `.ppt`, `.pptx` - Images: `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png` - PDF files 7. Select **Save**. 8. Repeat steps four through seven for each document you want to include. - Attach each document to the correct agenda item to ensure the packet collates correctly. 9. Close the agenda editor. 10. Select **Generate Board Packet**. > **Note:** Board packets do not support files attached directly from Dropbox or Google Drive.
