Tip! Since Brightspace automatically converts all documents to PDF, we recommend you to upload files in PDF format as much as possible; e.g. save a word doc as a PDF before uploading it to Brightspace. This ensures you that your file is always presented in the right way.
Good to know
- Powerpoint presentations are automatically converted to PDF files. Animations will not be visible. To keep your animations, the advice is to add the powerpoint presentations as a download link. See this article for more information.
