I have documents in the "files" folder in moodle. If I open the document directly from moodle, make changes, and save, the changes do not appear when a student download the document.
Any suggestion?
Only html and text documents can be edited directly in the files folder. For other file types (e.g., Word documents) you must (1) download the file (2) edit the file locally (3) save the file to your hard drive (4) upload the file again, overwriting the original file. You (and students) may need to clear the browser cache to make sure you see the new version.
