The course team can upload files, such as images in the course for the students to access.

To add a file or image inside the course, follow these steps.

  • Select the Studio option in the Copy URLs column.

  • Paste the Studio URL in the component or other content inside the course.

Use a File Outside the Course

To add a file or image outside the course, follow these steps.

  • Select the Web option in the Copy URLs column.

  • Paste the web URL in the external content e.g. in a bulk email message.

Note:

Be sure that you do not use the Studio URL in an email message.
