Resource Access
Easily make resources visible in a team member's library by giving Access. Here's how:
Click on the resource in the Library
Under the "Manage" tab, click "Library Access"
A new tab will open, allowing you to select which users, locations, roles, departments, brands, franchises, etc. you want to share this resource
Archive and Recover a Resource
Resources are not deleted but rather archived. There are two ways to archive a resource:
From the Library:

Click the ellipses icon to the right
Select Archive from the dropdown menu
To recover archived resources:
Click the Archived tab under Folders
Hover over the resource title
Click the ellipses icon to the right
Select "Unarchive" from the drop-down
Note: when you unarchive a resource, it will go back into any folder, course or module it was previously in.
Resources in the App
You must be in trainee mode to view Resources in the app.
Resources live on the bottom of the home screen on your app.
Tap on a resource name to view the resource
If admins have enabled "show folder to trainee", resources will be "tagged" by the folder name, as an additional organization tool

Resources Types
Opus supports many different types of resources - however, certain file types are best for being viewed in the mobile app. The maximum file size that can be uploaded is 400 MB.
This is a list of file types that you can upload:
Documents
Recommended file type: .PDF
File types NOT supported: .pages, .doc, .docx
Note: for google docs, sheets, etc, we recommend converting to a PDF.
Images
Recommended file type: .jpeg, .gif
Other supported file types: .jpg, .png
File types NOT supported: .heic (typically iOS will automatically convert to .jpeg when shared with an iOS application)
Videos + Audio Resources
Recommended file type: .mp4, .mp3
Other supported file types: .mov, .wav, .m4a, .avi, .flv, .mkv, .webm, .wmv
Note: Audio resources will appear as a link that trainees will need to tap to open. These links will open up inside of the course, not in a separate web browser page.
Links
The other way to upload a resource is to paste a link. Note: translation features will not work on videos that are hosted through a 3rd party
Paste a link to a website, youtube video or vimeo video. Pasting a link to a google doc or sheet will require the trainee to have access.
