Files: Adding, Replacing and Deleting

Adding a File

To add a file (e.g. PDF)

• Go to the course page where you want the file displayed.
• Click Add an activity or resource (bottom right).
  
• Choose File.
• Follow the prompts to name the file, and to describe it (optional).
• Select a file to add:

1. EITHER drag and drop the file from your device into the Select file box. This is easiest.
2. OR choose the Add icon (far left). Then choose Upload file and select it from your computer OR Recent files if the file is already stored in the course.

• Once you have selected the file(s), check the settings. The default setting are usually what is needed. 
• Click Save and return to course. 
  

To Delete 

• Go to the page where the file is showing as an object.
• Click Edit (to the right of the file object) and choose Delete.

To Replace 

Sometimes it makes more sense to replace the file associated with the file object.

• As above, go to Edit the file, but choose Edit settings.
• Edit the name and description if appropriate.
• In Select files, click on the thumbnail image of the file you want to replace. 
• In the pop up box that appears, choose Delete.
• Add a file to replace the one you deleted.
• Click Save and return to course.

Sample usage:

• Replacing an old assessment brief with a new version.

Files can be indented like any activity or resource. See Indenting activity or resource
