Resource files are stored in the database and can be of three types:

- **Library resources** - these are files that are not associated with any particular site. Use the Library screen to view, upload and download library resources.
- **Site resources** - these are files that are associated with a specific site. Use the Site Resources screen to view site resources. You must upload or download site resources from the Site Details screen.
- **Trending** - these are saved trend group definitions created in the Rubicon trending tool. Use the Trending screen to upload and download trend group files.
