# Listing Documents

## What types of documents can I upload to a listing?

Sellers can attach documents to their listings to provide additional information to buyers:

* **Registration papers** — AKC, breed registries, etc.
* **Vaccination records** — Proof of vaccinations
* **Health certificates** — Vet health checks
* **Other documents** — Other relevant PDF paperwork

Supported format: PDF only (max 10MB per file).

For seller photos and videos in Step 3, see [Listing photos and videos](/help/listing-media).
For paid visibility options in Step 5, see [Social Promotion & Featured Spotlight](/help/listing-promotion-featured-spotlight).

## Who can see my listing documents?

Documents have three visibility levels that you control:

| Visibility            | Who Can See                | Use Case                                          |
| --------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Seller Only**       | Only you (and org members) | Private records, internal notes                   |
| **Public (Pre-Sale)** | Any authenticated buyer    | Health certs, vaccination proof to attract buyers |
| **Post-Sale Only**    | Buyers after purchase      | Registration papers, detailed records             |

## How do I change document visibility?

When uploading a document, you choose the visibility level. You can change it later from the listing's document management section.

## Can buyers download my documents?

* **Seller Only** documents: No, buyers cannot see or download
* **Public (Pre-Sale)** documents: Buyers can view/download if the listing is active
* **Post-Sale Only** documents: Buyers can only access after completing a purchase

## Is my document storage path hidden from buyers?

Yes. Buyers only see document metadata (name, type) in the public projection. The actual storage path is never exposed. Downloads are served via time-limited signed URLs.
