Document modification
I cannot find videos that will show me how to modify documents. When my course was moved to Brightspace, several handouts became PDFs and I can't seem to be able to replace them with new content. Where are videos?

Hi @Sheryl.H.7375,
Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community!
When courses are moved into Brightspace, handouts become either Brightspace pages (which are editable) or uploaded PDF files (which are not directly editable in the system).
If you are trying to replace content on Brightspace pages, you can do that using the Brightspace Editor. This allows you to update text, add content, and make changes directly within the course. This article explains how to replace uploaded files within the Editor: Replace uploaded files in the New Content Experience
If you are trying to edit PDF files, you’ll need to:
- Edit the original file on your computer (for example, in Word or Adobe Acrobat).
- Save the updated version.
- Upload it to your course and replace the existing file using the provided article for guidance.
For step-by-step video guidance, you can visit the Brightspace Tutorials YouTube channel, which has tutorials on editing pages and managing course files. You can find it here: Brightspace Tutorials

Let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Claire
