In reference to the resources tab and pdf files....... I have added a resources tab to a slide that I want to be able to reference some documents which the learner can use by clicking the tab and selecting and clicking on the appropriate document. I published in "web" format, the documents are actually saved in the file that is the published package. When I click the launcher and start the course then get to the slide in question the resources tab comes up properly but the pdf files will not appear when the file name is double clicked?? The course restarts and opens another window asking if I would like to start again or leave off where I was ? the original tab where the course was playing is still on the same slide. Is there anyone who has experience with this ? I thought that the pdf files being saved directly into the course published folder would resolve any link issues and make it easier?
Actually, when you reference an external source, when SL publishes, it packages a copy of those files. So putting them in the published folder is probably causing the link issues. Try storing the .pdf files somewhere else, and see if it works after it is published.
Ended up being web popup blocking issues and local software issues.
Resolved. Thanks

Hi Sam,
The buttons at the bottom of the Resources window allow you to edit, rearrange, or delete the resources you've already added:
Is it possible to add conditions so that resources only show up when a user has begun a lesson or reached a certain page?
Hey there, Sylvia. You can show or hide the Resources feature on certain slides if you'd like by adjusting the Slide Properties window.
I hope that's helpful!

Hi Philip,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing the details of what you are experiencing with your published file.
I have a couple of questions/ideas on the culprit:
I've seen one or both of these issues cause the issue you're seeing in your resources. Here's some additional documentation.
Ended up being web popup blocking issues and local software issues.
Resolved. Thanks
