About Manage Files

The Manage Files tool is a file management system for your course. You can use this tool to organize and upload files associated with your course offering. We recommend that you organize your files into folders, creating a folder for each module of content. The functions you can perform in Manage Files can be divided into the following two categories:

• Organizing and managing files and folders  Perform basic tasks such as creating, editing, deleting, uploading, moving files and folders, and zipping and unzipping files.
• Creating topics from your files  Create topics using files from your course content structure.
