Uploading and downloading files in Manage Files

The Upload icon on the Manage Files page allows you to select and upload a file from your computer to Learning Environment. You can upload most file types, but keep in mind that users must have corresponding software to view these files.

Though you can upload most file types to a content directory in Manage Files, only files with specific extensions can be used as content topics. For a list of unsupported file types and extensions, see Restricted upload extensions.
