How do you disable files so your students can access it?

[Ron_Bowman · Accepted solution]

@DonnaAuguste -

do you want to hide all of your files?  Or just one particular file?

To hide all of your files in a course, go to settings(left hand navigation menu), click on navigatioin and move the files link from the active area to the not used area at the bottom - then make sure you click the save course changes button at the bottom

For individual files, click on the ellipses on the right side of the file listing and chose the option you want for access to the file.

look here for restricting file use by students
