Do you want to add a document, such as a PDF, Word, or PowerPoint file to your learning activity? This can be easily done! In this article, you will learn how this works.
How do I add a document?
You can add a document as a separate learning activity, namely as a microlearning. Additionally, you can add a link as a learning format within a learning activity. Both methods will be discussed in this article.

Click on ‘Add’.
Choose the learning activity ‘Microlearning’ and click on ‘File’.

💡 Tip: Learning objectives and tags
You can add learning objectives and tags to learning formats. Learning objectives are useful, for example, to create exams based on learning objectives. Using tags helps you to easily find content in the Warehouse. As you start typing, suggestions will immediately appear for learning objectives and tags you have used before.
How can I employ the usage of a document?
Via the document, you can also make internal documents available from the online academy. For example, during the onboarding of new employees, you can make the employee handbook available using this method, allowing users to access all information about procedures such as sick leave, vacation requests, etc.
