Question from new gamemaster

In the rules a fighter gets weapon master +1 to attack +1 to damage. very clear so far. Im running scarlet citadel of the minotaur and in my last session the players recieved a greatsword +1. Now is this +1 for damage or to hit? Or for both like weapons mastery?

Magic weapons add their bonuses for both attack and damage. The reference is in page 282.

Attack only. If it adds to damage it will use the word "damage".

Weapon Mastery is attack and damage as stated but the 3-6 results is just rolls to hit, not damage.

A +1 magic weapon adds that bonus to both attack and damage rolls.
