Add or link files to courses

Learn how to add or link files from Documents to courses via the web app so your team can easily access training documents in one place while taking the course.

How does adding and linking files work?

When you add or link files to a course, you can either upload new files or reuse existing ones from Documents. Adding a file allows you to upload training materials that are specific to a course, such as reference guides, and store them directly in Documents. Linking a file lets you reuse existing manuals, procedures, or policies from Documents without uploading them again.

By managing files in Documents, this helps teams keep training materials consistent across courses, as updates apply wherever the file is used. It also reduces duplication and ensures users always see the most current materials as they move through a course.
