If you want to hide specific course files from users, you can store those files in protected folders using folder names that begin with a dot (for example, .personal_notes). You can also rename existing folders to protect them. Protected folders are only available to users with the See File Listing role permission.
To apply content permissions to folders
- Create a folder, or edit an existing folder.
- Add a period at the start of the folder name (for example, .personal_notes).
