How are policies organized for easy download on the SAILOR portal?

The organization of policies for easy download on the SAILOR portal as contained in a .zip file is advantageous for several reasons. By using a .zip file, multiple policies can be compressed and grouped together, allowing users to download a single file rather than multiple individual files. This not only saves time but also minimizes the potential for error during the download process, where a user might forget to select one or more documents.

Additionally, a .zip file can help ensure that the policies maintain their intended structure when unzipped, as they will remain within the same hierarchical organization as designed by the administrators. This approach is more efficient in terms of bandwidth usage, particularly when dealing with numerous or large documents, as it reduces the overhead that would come with downloading files separately.

Other methods, such as storing them as individual PDF files or creating multiple folders, lack this organizational efficiency, and publishing in a web format, while accessible, does not suit the needs of users who prefer or require offline access to documentation. The use of a .zip file streamlines the user experience, making it the most effective organizational method for easy downloads.
