Manage Course Files
Manage Files is a the back-end resource folder for Brightspace sites. This tool includes all uploaded content including copied images. It also houses recordings and videos, student submission files, assessments, course content, and even widget tools. This tool is visible to the teaching team and site administrators only, it IS NOT accessible to students.

We do not recommend using this tool as a place to build and maintain your content, as students cannot access it and the possibility of deleting a student submission, removing a required document, or overwriting images is great.
