The File Manager allows you to manage local file content that is referenced in the Learning Design Editor. You can add, edit, view, move, import, and delete files and folders that are contained in the Project's "content" folder.
Throughout the LD you can only reference files that exist in the "content" folder or sub-folder. Therefore, when you are creating your Unit of Learning (UoL) you will need to copy existing content files into the "content" folder by means of the File Manager or directly in the host filing system. You can also create and edit text-based files from the File Manager.
All files that are in the "content" folder will be included in the final Learning Design zip package.
