Publish a file as course material
Who can use this: Teachers and staff with access to the course.
Before you start
Upload the file through Files first and wait until it is available for use. Check that it contains only material intended for students.
Publish a file as course material
- In Files, open the intended course library and find or upload the file there.
- Select the file and open its publication controls. Review the exact file version and availability dates, then publish it.
- Open the course Materials tab to check the published entry. Students use that entry to open the reviewed version.
What happens next
The selected file version becomes course material for eligible students.
Troubleshooting
Uploading or replacing a file alone does not publish it. Publish a reviewed replacement explicitly when students should receive a newer edition; do not assume an existing material link follows the latest file.
