Finding the URL of a Materials Item

The Materials tool allows you to store your files in a central location and make them available to other people by referencing the URL.

To find and share the URL of an item in Materials, follow these steps:

1. In the menubar, click Materials.
   
   
2. Next to the item to which you want to link, from the Actions menu, click Revise Details.
   
   
3. Under "File Details", next to "Web Address (URL)", highlight the URL of the item. Press Ctrl-c (in Windows) or Cmd-c (on a Macintosh) to copy the URL.
   
   
4. In the place where you need to enter the URL, paste the URL by pressing Ctrl-v (Windows) or Cmd-v (Macintosh).

Note: To make a URL visible to users outside your site, see Making your Materials items publicly accessible.
