👩💼 Who Can Manage Files?
Only Site Coordinators and Provider Administrators have the ability to upload, edit, or delete files in CareApp. This helps ensure content is managed appropriately.
👁️ Controlling Who Can View Files
When uploading a file, you can choose exactly who you want to be able to see it — such as specific staff roles or family members. These visibility settings appear directly on the file, so it’s easy to confirm who has access.
Privacy by design
Family Representatives CAN view files if selected.
Family Followers CANNOT view files — this privacy setting ensures sensitive information is only shared with the right people.
You can update a file’s visibility at any time by editing the post or changing to role of a Family member.
➕ Uploading New Files
Adding new files is easy! Simply create a Document or Link post on CareApp, select the customer profile, and it will automatically appear in their files.
