Attachment Block - Now Available!
Hey Everyone,
You asked for it so we built it - the all new Attachment Block. It makes it super easy to add attachments (PDF, Word, Excel, or any filetype) to your Rise courses.
Check out this video (recorded with Peek and hosted on Articulate Review, of course.)

Enjoy!

This is a very exciting and useful addition, but why can't we choose the title to display? File names for the web normally don't have any spaces and aren't always easy to read in that format, even with dashes or underscores. In fact, when you upload a document called something like ''Document.docx’, you download a file called something like ‘wnjrnr4w_9C78w8h-document.docx’, which is a very long and unclear file name.
Are you referring to the name of the attachment?
For example, if I had a file named "week-one-handbook.docx", I wouldn't want it to display as that, I'd want to be able to give it a title like "Week One – Handbook" or similar.
I'd find it helpful if we could rename the display title of the documents too.
I need this feature to link to documents stored in a content repository, and to be able to rename the file name.
We have multiple Rise objects that might link to the same file, if that file gets updated, I need to know that this change is going to filter through to all locations where it is embedded
Love the attachment block and I agree with Michelle's suggestion (similar to how we can display a title for the button block). Keep up the great work!
Hi Wout,
If you're looking at adding Resources onto a slide in Storyline, you can still use the Resource tab to make this a bit easier. You'll want to follow the steps here to add the files to your Resource tab and then you can create links to the files on individual slides.
The Resource tab will need to be enabled only on one slide in the course to generate that folder in your output. So you can also set that to appear on one slide within the slide properties by using the "custom player settings" and learners never need to see that slide if you don't add triggers to direct anyone there.
If you need a PDF icon, check out some of the downloadable assets we've shared here in the E-Learning Heroes community!

Imagine my surprise when I saw the block a few hrs ago! Watching your clip and seeing the stack with the colours for PDF, Word and ZIP makes it look very streamlined. Thanks for adding this feature. The ZIP file will be particularly useful!
Thanks so much!
