Content Uploader - Increase File Upload Size​

Prior to this enhancement, the file upload limit in Content Uploader was up to 750MB. As a result, the administrators used Edge Import to upload courses up to 2GB.

With this enhancement, administrators are able to upload files up to 2GB directly through the Content Uploader. It aligns the Content Uploader with Edge Import, providing a consistent upload limit across both tools. This enhancement enables uploading files up to 2GB in Content Uploader, Course Versioning, and Modify Content​.

How Does this Enhancement Benefit My Organization?

  • Administrators can upload large content independently, reducing reliance on support teams for manual uploads.
  • Administrators creating large courses in Edge Import can also version and modify the same courses in Course Console.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

750MB.

2GB.

Supporting files larger than 2GB will require large-scale refactoring; our goal is to align the file size limit to Edge Import (Online Class Creation) to allow Versioning and Modify Content functionalities of the same content in Course Console.

An incremental improvement is considered for future releases, pending feedback and analysis of impact and adoption.

Implementation

This functionality is automatically enabled for all organizations using the Learning module.

Permissions

The following existing permissions apply to this functionality:

PERMISSION NAME PERMISSION DESCRIPTION CATEGORY
Online Class - Upload

Grants access to the Content Uploader where an administrator can upload zip packages to create draft online classes. In addition, this permission grants the ability to upload a new zip package as part of the online class versioning process. This permission does NOT grant the ability to publish online classes. Without the permission to publish online classes, administrators with the permission to upload online classes can only upload and save online classes, which then must be published by administrators with the relevant permission.

As of November 10, 2017, this is the only permission which provides access to the Content Uploader page.
