# Course Files

Depending on the type of course you're offering. Having the ability to attach files to it will be important. *E.g. Including student starter sheets, or work files to get started.*

### To add new files

Drag and drop the files onto the site, or click the browse link to locate them on your local computer. 

You'll see a file uploader displayed. Once the file is successfully uploaded it will appear in your course files list. 

### How they are displayed

As someone who manages the site, course files won't be visible to you, but they are visible to the customer when viewing a course, or lesson within the course.

When the "Course Files" button is clicked, it slides open to reveal the list of files.

### When they are displayed

*First and foremost, access to the files hinge on the course.* If the course is free, then the files are free to download. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
Files are a pro level feature.
{% endhint %}

If the course is not free, and it's a digital purchase only, we check their record of purchases. If it's a subscription only thing, we check to see if the subscription plan that's attached to their subscription, has file downloads enabled. If it's a team we check the team access.

In all cases above, the customer won't be able to download the file unless they have a subscription (or if the course is free).

They will see the files, but when they attempt to download it, the following prompt will be shown:
