Course Files

The Files view gathers together all the files you've uploaded to Syllabus, individual assignments (not student submissions), and lessons.

• The main view is accessible as follows:
  • Course faculty, teaching assistants, registrars, and academic admins can view and add files.
  • Students can view files (if you want them to be able to add files, give them access to a folder—see below).
• Check next to a file to see options to download, copy, move, or delete it.
• Click the file to view it within the Populi file viewer. It lets you watch videos, listen to audio, and view images and documents.
• In the file viewer, click to download, rename, send, or trash the file.

Folders

Folders let you organize files (and clean up the screen's real estate if you have lots of files in your course).

• Create a new folder by clicking Add folder and giving it a name.
• Click a folder to view its files, add more to it, or manage who can access it (and how).
