In Storyline, once you upload a file to the course, you can generate a link to it using the file path it will export to (e.g., story_content/external_files/Sample_File.pdf). Is that possible in Rise?
I find the Attachment block in Rise a little ugly. I have a list of resources I'd like to include at the end of my course using the Button Stack block, but I can't link to attachments there - only URL. I'm hoping if I can figure out the file path (like I use in Storyline), I can link to file attachments that way. Is this possible?
I agree with Kristin and am currently trying to figure out the same thing. I want the ability to link to different resources (e.g. PDFs, PNGs, etc.) using the button stack block. I, too, think the attachment block is not as nice looking at the button stack.
Some folks have created a workaround to "link" those types of files. You can do this by:
including resource files in a separate course as attachment blocks,
exporting and hosting the resource course,
and using the attachment block URLs from the published resource course in a button stack block in the other, actual course that learners see. Find those URLs by hovering over each attachment block in the published course.
When clicking from the button stack, the learner should be directed to download the attachment as though they had clicked on the attachment block.
As long as your hosting platform doesn't get in the way of using links from another Rise 360 course, this should help you get the look and functionality you want!

Hi Kristin! That's an interesting question.
I haven't seen anyone hyperlink a file using a file path, but I'll open the floor to the community to share their ideas with you!

Crystal - your third suggestion was ideal for me. I have now replaced the Attachment blocks with a neat button interaction. Thanks so much!
