PDF and DOCX Support

You can embed PDF's and DOCX documents directly into your trainings, as well as provide them as file attachments.

Adding Files To Trainings

You can add PDFs, Word documents, and other files to your trainings in a few ways, depending on how you want learners to use them.

Embed A Document

Use Document Viewer when you want learners to read a PDF or Word document directly inside the training page.

This is best for handbooks, guides, policies, worksheets, or reference documents that should feel like part of the course experience.

Supported files:

• PDF

• DOCX

Authors can:

• Upload a document

• Preview it in the training editor

• Replace the document later

• Rename the learner-facing document name

• Allow learners to download the document

• Delete the document from the page

The learner-facing name lets you show a clean title, like Employee Handbook, instead of the original uploaded file name.

Add a document viewer using the slash menu.

Add a document viewer using the Design Elements.

Click to upload a PDF or DOCX.

At the bottom, a settings menu, let's you download, replace, set a name, or delete the document viewer.

Add A Downloadable File

Use File/Document when you want to attach a file as a downloadable resource rather than embedding it directly on the page.

This is best for supplemental materials, templates, forms, checklists, or files learners should download and use outside the course.

Which Should I Use?

Use Document Viewer when the file is core training content and should be read in the flow of the lesson.

Use File/Document when the file is a supporting resource that learners only need to download.

Learner Experience

Learners can view embedded PDFs and Word documents directly in the training. They can also download the file when they need a local copy.
