This refers to Moodle 4.3 from August 2024 onwards
You can add a variety of types of files to Moodle including PowerPoint presentations, Word documents and PDFs. The instructions below will show you how to upload any file allowed in Moodle. Note that although it is possible to add more than one file it is not advisable as Moodle will display only one of the files. Upload one file at a time.
Note: If your file is an audio file (e.g., .mp3) or a video (e.g., .mp4) then please use the Media Resource upload instead: see How to upload audio and video to Moodle
1. Navigate to your module and enable editing using the 'Edit mode' slider in the top right corner.
2. Scroll to the section where you want to add a file.
3. Open a second window on your screen and locate the file you wish to upload.
4. Drag and drop the file into the page. A broken bordered box (labelled 'Add file here') will appear to drop the file into.
The file will appear at the bottom of the section. You can then move it, rename it, or edit its settings.
5. When you had added the file, don't forget to 'Turn editing off' at the top right of the Moodle page.
1. Make sure Editing mode is switched on using the 'Edit mode' slider in the top right corner.
2. In the topic where you want to add the recordings, click on ‘Add an activity or resource’.
3. This will produce a pop-up window listing Activities and Resources. Click on 'File'.
4. You will be taken directly to the 'Adding a new File' Enter the 'Name' of the Resource and a 'Description' if you wish.
5. You can drag and drop files from a folder on your desktop - if you have them open together on your screen - into the content section (see below) or to add a file:
a. Click 'Add file' button (outlined in purple below).
b. Click 'Upload a file'.
c. Click 'Choose file'.
d. Browse to the file to add, select, and click 'Open'.
e. Click 'Upload this file'.
6. Click the grey triangle next to Appearance to drop down the section and, for Display, select 'Open' (more details about Display options below).
This section asks you to decide how you want the file to be displayed when you click on the file icon in the module.
7. Click 'Save and return to module' or 'Save and Display'.
8. When you had added the file, don't forget to 'Turn editing off' at the top right of the Moodle page.
You can choose to display the file in different ways. In the instructions above we recommended Open because this is normally the best option for all computers and mobile devices.
