Is there a way to provide access to the items in the file repository course widget before someone enrolls? Or if not there, is there a way for a user to access documents before they have to enroll other than demo material - which is limited in size and number if we have more than 1 item in the file repository widget? I see the course description and the content in the course as options to view before enrolling. Thanks in advance for your help.

Agree, you need to be enrolled to access the file repository...if you have Coach & Share you can use Channels to post your docs outside a course.

Links in the course description is probably your best bet. I don’t think the file repository widget is the way.

I don’t think DCS would help here though

If they have it, they can include a link to the channel asset(s) from the description...

Thanks! We don’t have DCS yet but I am exploring using the preview material button - renamed to download PDF- if there is only 1 document in the file repository or if more than 1 document, merging them, as long as it still fits in that small preview material file size.
