Site owners can make a file or folder publicly viewable. This means that the file or folder can be viewed by anyone with the file or folder's URL, even if they're not members of the folder's original site. Some institutions also have a Search Public Course and Project Sites button on their gateway page that will allow publicly available files and folders to be searched and viewed.
Go to Resources.
Select Resources from the site Tool Menu.
Select Actions, and then select Edit Details.
