Files & Resources

Alongside lessons, you can add files learners can download — slides, worksheets, checklists, reading material, and more. A file is its own item in the course outline, so you place it wherever it makes sense.

What you can do

• Add a file as an item in any section of your course.
• Place it next to a related lesson, so learners find it in context.
• Set its status to draft (hidden) or published (live).
• Mark it as free preview so anyone can download it without enrolling.
• Hide it from public listings, or show it with a locked badge until a learner qualifies.

How to add a file

1. Open your course and go to the Curriculum (content) area.
2. Inside a section, click Add → File.
3. Give it a clear Title so learners know what it is.
4. Upload the file.
5. Click Save.

You can also attach files directly to a lesson as supporting handouts. Use a standalone file item when the resource stands on its own, and a lesson attachment when it supports a specific lesson.

What the learner sees

A file appears in the course outline with its title. Learners click it to download or open it. Free-preview files can be downloaded without enrolling; restricted files show a locked badge until the learner qualifies.

Tips

• Name files clearly — "Week 1 Worksheet" beats "doc1".
• Keep large reference materials as files, and use lessons for the teaching itself.
• For an overview of where uploads live and how they are managed across your platform, see Files & Media.
