  • Make unlisted / make public – unlisted resources are resources only visible in the Content Bank to the author, other teachers on the course will not see the resource in the Content Bank until it is made public. Please note, you can still add or embed the content onto your Moodle space, which will be visible to participants on the course.
  • Rename – renaming a resource will change the content’s name. It is recommended to do this if there are two versions of a resource, and to ensure content is sensibly titled.
  • Replace with file – allows you to replace the existing content with a new resource.
  • Download – any teacher can download any public H5P resource from the Content Bank.
  • Copy content– Create a copy of your resource.
  • Delete – this will remove the H5P content from the Content Bank. Please note, deleting a resource from the Content Bank does not guarantee it will be removed from any stand-alone or embedded activities you may have added it in on your Moodle space.
