Opening an attachment in a New Tab
In RISE, I updated a course and replaced a few pdf files that were added as attachment blocks. In the RISE preview, the files open in a new tab as expected and as they have in the past.
After uploading the updated version in the LMS, the 1 attachment block that wasn't replaced with a new file continues to open in a new tab. However, the other attachment blocks with the replaced/updated files now only download and do not open in a new tab.
Is this able to be fixed or moving forward will the files only be downloaded and not opened in a new tab?
Hi AndreaMartin-99 yes, this appears to be an updated behaviour in Rise as I saw a related question recently. I would recommend doing an arbitrary update on the other documents so that they pick-up the new functionality so that it is at least consistent.
Otherwise, you could use the JavaScript I provided to another user, which removes the download attribute from the attachments, so that they continue to open in a new tab.

Thank you for your help and for the suggestion!
Hello,
I don't know much about coding, but I would like to know where the code should be placed to change the functionality of the download button.
Thank youAfter publishing your project, find the main HTML file that launches the course (you may need to unzip if it's a zipped SCORM course). Then before the closing </body> tag, add some <script></script> tags and add the JavaScript in between them, and save the file.
