📦 How to Make Individual Files Downloadable Inside a Course
Want to let your audience download a specific file — like a PDF worksheet, checklist, or resource guide — from inside one of your course lessons? 🙌
Good news: you can let students download individual files by linking directly to a standalone Digital Product from inside your course lesson! 🙌
The trick? Use a Digital Product as a delivery wrapper, then link to it directly from your lesson. Let's walk through it step by step. 👇
🛠️ Step 1: Create a Digital Product for Your File
First, you'll create a standalone Digital Product that contains the file you want to make downloadable.
Go to your Dashboard and click "+Add Products".
Choose Digital Product.
Give it a clear name (e.g., "Week 1 Worksheet — PDF Download").
Upload the file you want your students to be able to download (PDF, spreadsheet, template, etc.).
That's it for creating your Digital Product. Next, you'll publish it so your students can access it.
✅ Step 2: Publish the Digital Product
This step is crucial! Your Digital Product must be Published, no need to Draft or Unpublish. Once it's published, you can share its link with your students, which you'll do in Step 3.
🔗 Step 3: Post It Within Your Course & Add the Link for direct navigation
Now let's connect everything so your students can grab the download right from inside their lesson! 🎉
Go to your Digital Product on your Hub and copy its link. You'll find this on the "My Hub" page after clicking on 3 dots to open the settings dropdown, under "Copy product".
Navigate to the Course Module where you want the download to appear.
In the lesson editor, add a link in the lesson description or standalone text lesson using the product link you just copied.
Add some friendly text like: "Click here to download your worksheet 📥"
When your students click the link, they'll land on the Digital Product page where they can download the file directly — seamless and simple! ✨
💡 Tips & Best Practices
Name your Digital Products clearly — something like "Module 3 Workbook" makes it easy to manage as your library grows.
One Digital Product per file — if you have multiple downloadable resources, create a separate Digital Product for each one.
Always use "Copy product", this is the current terminology in WithMe. Landing Page is a different feature: it's either an HTML page you build with Dez or upload for a product, or the Landing Pages list in My Hub. It is not another name for the product link you copy with "Copy product". 😊
Test the flow yourself — click through the link from your lesson to make sure the download experience is smooth for your audience.
And that's it! 🚀 You've just unlocked a powerful way to deliver targeted resources right inside your course lessons. Your students get exactly what they need, exactly when they need it — and you stay in full control of your content.
