Uploading and using files in Edit Mode
Edit Mode supports file uploads so you can build and refine courses from existing material and keep everything aligned with your organization’s resources. You can use uploads to add more context to a course with supporting documents, to generate full courses from existing files, and to cross-reference multiple files as you create content.
Supported file types include PDFs, SCORM files, and images. You can upload a single file or multiple files at once.
There are two ways to add files in Edit Mode:
Drag and drop
Drag one or more files from your computer directly into the Edit Mode window.
The files are uploaded and appear in the interface once they are ready.
2. Using the + button
Click the + icon in Edit Mode.
Select Upload.
Choose one or more files from your computer.
After you upload files, you can refer to them in your prompts. For example:
“Convert my SCORM file into a course.”
“Turn my PDF into an assessment.”
“Add key takeaways from the PDF to the end of my course.”
“Make sure my course matches the tone of voice guidelines that I uploaded.”
Edit Mode processes the files and generates content based on your instructions. You can accept the suggested changes directly into your course or send follow-up messages to iterate on the content, such as asking to make it shorter, adjust the tone, or add a short knowledge check. You can continue chatting as usual afterwards; your uploaded files remain available as context while you work in Edit Mode.
