New to Audi ~ Some help is appreciated

Hi everyone. I'm new to Audi and this site. I've finally decided it's time to sell my '04 Saab 9-5 Aero Wgn 5-spd manual so I just purchased a CPO 2016 A7. I'm excited to get to know this car from behind the wheel as well as under it. It wouldn't surprise me that this topic has been discussed before but my queries have come up short so here goes. Although I know the 4 main lifting points for my hydraulic jacks (just purchased pucks from Reverse Logic), I don't seem to find any points that appear strong enough to support the car with my jack stands. Any help would be appreciated ~ photos would be great. Also, does anyone know where I can get a Repair/Shop Manual for this car?

There is a drawing in the Owner's Manual showing the locations under the heading "Raising the vehicle". Of course, the puck goes on top of your hydraulic jack. I just put the jack stands next to the pucks and lower the car.
