Before uploading modules to a course, it’s important to know which files you’ll be able to download to your computer. This helps to ensure that you have backups in case the original files are accidentally deleted.
We recommend keeping all important files safely stored and not deleting them from your computer.
For more details about downloading standalone content items, check out this article.
How to make sure a content item can be downloaded
If you plan to download modules from the course you’ve created, make sure that this type of file can be downloaded.
| Files that can be downloaded from the course | - PowerPoint presentations (.ppt, .pptx)
- Word documents (.doc, .docx)
- Excel spreadsheets (.xls, .xlsx)
- PDF files
- iSpring Suite presentations and QuizMaker quizzes with source files
|
| Files that can be downloaded from the project | |
| Files that can be exported from both the course and the project | |
For example, if you add video or audio to a course and later delete the original file, it cannot be restored from the course. This option will not be available in the properties.
You will be able to download video or audio files, but only if they are added as standalone modules to the project.
How to publish content with source files
You can publish content made in iSpring Suite and iSpring QuizMaker to iSpring Learn, along with their source files.
Just check the Upload source files box when publishing.
This way, even if you lose the original files, you can always download them again from iSpring Learn.
How to download a module from the course
- Select a module, e.g., a PDF file.
Then click on Properties > Download.
Done! The file will be saved to your computer.
If you need files from the course that can’t be downloaded directly from the platform, please contact your manager to purchase this service.
