The Resource content type should represent a singular link or file that can be considered a useful resource for users. When creating a Resource, you can choose to either add an External URL or upload a File. When a user clicks on that resource they will be redirected to the URL or file.
Make sure to also include an excerpt and assign any relevant Departments, Offices, Audiences, and Resource Types.
Resource Pages
If you would like to tag a Page on the site as a Resource you can do so by assigning the Resource (slug: resource) category to the page. Then, the page will appear under the “Resource” content type filter in search. It will still remain under the “Page” content type filter as well.

See Resource List for more examples on how to display Resources across the site.
