Find, download, edit, or delete an existing uploaded content asset

You can manage the content, or assets, that you have uploaded to your training site’s lessons in "Assets." 

Assets include the standard types of content (documents, images, videos, iFrame), while "SCORM" stores any SCORM/HTML content you upload to Skilljar, and "Quizzes" stores any quizzes you create in Skilljar.

Tip: Use this section of the Dashboard to maintain up-to-date content that you use across multiple courses in Skilljar. You can edit an asset with an updated version without having to find the exact lesson(s) with this content in your courses.

Find uploaded content

You can choose how many assets you want to display on the table from the dropdown menu at the bottom of the table - 10, 25, 50, or 100 items per page. By default, up to 100 assets will display in each table page. If you have more than 100 assets, you can click the page arrows at the bottom of the table to move between pages.

To find content, you can use the search bar or reorder a column in the Assets table.

Use the search bar

1. From the “Course Management” dropdown in the Dashboard left navigation bar, click "Assets."

3. Click Go or click “Enter” on your keyboard. Content titles matching the keyword will populate in the Assets table.

2. On the “Assets” page, choose which asset you want to edit.

1. Download the asset.
2. Replace the asset.
3. Edit the asset “Display Name.”
4. Embedded assets only: View original content.
5. Decide if completion of the asset syncs for students across courses (for example, if a video is included in numerous lessons, students will only need to watch the video once to make it as complete)
6. Video files only: Change the aspect ratio.
5. If you make changes, click Save.

Note: The changes you make to an asset will change across any lessons and courses where the asset is used. 

When an asset is replaced, the old asset will remain in your Skilljar dashboard. Learn how to delete an asset below. 

Delete content

1. From the “Course Management” dropdown in the Dashboard left navigation bar, click "Assets."

4. Click OK.
5. Reload your browser to confirm the asset has been deleted.

Note: Deleting an asset will permanently remove it from your organization and cannot be undone.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a specific asset not have a delete icon?

If an asset is not used in any lesson, a delete icon will appear. Therefore, the delete icon will only be available for assets that are not used in a lesson.

Can all of my organization’s dashboard users see all of the available assets?

No. If you have invited dashboard users as Content Managers, they will only be able to see the assets for the courses to which they have access. Those will full admin access to the dashboard can see all of your organization’s available assets.
