1. How to download a file in Brightspace

In D2L Brightspace, documents (PDFs, PowerPoint, Word documents) can be opened and viewed within the Brightspace environment. However, students can also download these documents to their computer to view outside of the Brightspace environment.

TIP: If your instructor has uploaded a PowerPoint that has animations, multi-media elements (e.g., video or audio), or additional notes in the notes pane these will only be visible if you download the PowerPoint.
