Thank you so much. Hope it helps 
I should also mention, in general I believe Tech Nation expects applicants to submit separate, distinct files for each piece of evidence they wish to provide. This means that each file should independently showcase one aspect of the applicant’s achievements, contributions, or credentials, rather than combining multiple types of evidence into one document. And this is what the sentence you referred to means, but you can pick this up only if you read the whole guideline and consider its overall intent.
The guideline seems to aim for clarity and ease of assessment, where each piece of evidence can be reviewed on its own merit without needing to interpret or separate different types of information within a single file

Thank you so much for your quick response, @mahdibeee. Your clarification has definitely helped clear up my confusion. More importantly, your reasoning and insights seem quite logical. I understand that some posts here emphasize strictly following the rules, which can make us a bit cautious. However, I will advocate for your approach in my application.
Also, thank you for kindly welcoming me to stay in touch on LinkedIn.

No worries. I hope it helps. However please bear in mind that this is honestly a personal journey. I do believe that reviewers have a precise checklist and guideline to review, however, due to the strenghth of documents, evidences, SOP, recommendation letters etc, their judgement might be different on a case by case basis.
I honestly provided as much as detailed, official and translated documents as I could get my hands on, so if I even had made a mistake in the process, we don’t get any feedback and thankfully only got the endorsement email which you will also receive So, please follow the guideline and just take my notes as an additional comment which can help with the confusion, make your case as strong as possible, try to put everything they need to see in the actual application and evidence files, make sure if they want to see the pictures they are not distorted and can easily be read, but you can also specifically cite under images that you have provided the evidence in application but just for the sake or higher quality photo they can click the image or the hyperlink to access the photo in Google Drive for instance. If they misunderatand, or assume that you are intending to provide additional info outside the application, that document will be rejected since the precisely mention that they will not check external links.
External validation is really important. If you have a high profile speaking definitely put it in MC and explain it thoroughly, why its important; evidence of how many attendees, workshops can be in work outisde for OC2 I guess if I remember correctly but have to be structured… You know the rest as I can see you have examined the guides carefully
Good luck
