Hello Rachelle,

You might get more responses if you clarify your use case.

If you are saying that you want to have a person perform some task using an exercise file and then submit proof of the completion of the task in an assignment training material then you could probably put the exerise file in the course as a ‘file’ training material.  This would force each person to download the file as part of completing the course, unless you adjust the end object marker settings. 

For us we don’t really use exercise files - we are normally linking people out to another site to complete a task, such as an AI role play.  In that situation, we link to the AI role play in the instructions for the assignment. We ask the person to take a screenshot of their results and load that to get credit for completing the assignment.

However, another way we’ve started doing it is to use a an HTML training material as opposed to the assignment training material. We link them out to the task. We ask them to copy their conversation, or PDF the page of their results. Then we link them to a Microsoft Form where they can submit their answers. This is eaiser for our course owners to review the submission as opposed to downloading it from Docebo.

Hope something in this helps!
