[ARCHIVED] Adding folder with content to module

[zoltan_blum]

Is it possible to add a folder with files to a module

Hello  @zoltan_blum .  It isn't currently possible to add an entire folder to a module.  This idea has come up several times  over the last few years (see https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/7804 and https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/3413" modifiedtitle="true" title="Folders within modules).  You may need to request access to cold storage to view these.

Some of the faculty at our institution will create a text header in a module and then add all of the files under this.  I prefer to add a single page for the files and then link to all of the files for that modules within this single page so the page functions similar to a folder.

I hope this helps and good luck!

Is there anything more current than 2018 on this topic?

@MarikaMcFall -

if you mean have a folder in a module and then in that folder all the files, then no.  There is an idea conversation on sub-modules which this concept basically is. the first 2 I found were archived.  I cannot find any that are active at this time.  The first request was back in 2016

the answer/workaround that @ericwerth provided is the best you can do at this time.
