One neat feature in Heropa is the way content can be integrated into the environment or event workspace, so that users can view content as they work with hands-on labs. 

Adding content to Heropa can:  

• Provide the contents of a training manual to learners taking a self-paced course 
• Include step-by-step instructions to support complex exercises during instructor-led training
• Add explanatory notes to a virtual lab
• Give POC users information at each step of their trial

There are two ways to add content to Heropa: 

1. Using the content module in Heropa

The Content module in Heropa provides a way to create custom content. Once created in the Content module, content can be re-used in different Courses, Environments and Events as necessary.

2. Adding a URL to view a document file 

Another option is to give users a URL to access a file containing content. For example, this can be used to provide quick access to a pre-existing training manual. By adding a URL, a tile will be visible in the Content panel of the workspace. When selected, the file will open in a new browser tab / window. 

To add a document file:

• Open the course, then the Configuration tab. 
• In the Download manual link field, add the URL for the file. 
• Select Save. 

Where does content appear?

Content appears in a Content panel in the user's workspace. Users can control whether the panel is visible or hidden by using the workspace controls.
