Resources

Use Resources to open the course-wide assets panel and review files, links, audio, and video attached to lessons.

  • Search resources by title or lesson.
  • Open the source file or link when available.
  • Attach file, link, audio, or video resources to individual lessons so learners can find supporting materials next to the lesson content.
  • Delete resources that should no longer appear for learners.

Course resources are grouped by lesson so larger courses are easier to audit before publishing.

For large course migrations, approved API or assistant workflows can create the course, modules, lessons, and lesson resources together. Review the generated course tree and resource list in the builder before publishing.

If a large course build is interrupted, approved workflows can append the missing modules, lessons, and resources to the existing course instead of making a duplicate. Review the course tree after any resumed build.

If generated structure needs cleanup, confirm the scope first. A full course delete removes its modules, lessons, and resources. Deleting a module keeps its lessons in the course so you can move or clean them up separately.

Video thumbnails

When a video lesson has uploaded video media, use Thumbnail in the lesson media area to choose the poster image learners see before playback.

  • Default uses the generated video thumbnail.
  • Timeline lets you choose a frame from the video.
  • Custom lets you select an uploaded image from File Manager.
