Add a cheat sheet to a course

Create a new cheat sheet

If you add a cheat sheet to a published course, some users will not see it instantly.

1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
2. On the right of the course row, click Edit.
3. In the left sidebar, below the list of existing activities, click Add activity → Create cheat sheet.
4. Enter a title.
5. In the section Content, enter the text.
6. Click outside the text area.

We recommend adding documents as a separate activity. To include images and videos in the text instead, click Insert a document in the toolbar at the top of the editor, or copy-paste them directly in the editor. We can’t guarantee images, videos, and video thumbnails will display correctly if you copy-paste them directly in the editor.

You can also add tags to the cheat sheet.

Import an existing cheat sheet

Admins, editors, and contributors can import cheat sheets on which they have the main author or co-author role. Platform admins can import any cheat sheet.

You can choose to keep the link with the existing cheat sheet (in which case, editing the imported cheat sheet will also edit the original cheat sheet), or remove the link (in which case, the imported cheat sheet will be independent).

1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
2. On the right of the course row, click Edit.
3. In the left sidebar, below the list of existing activities, click Add activity → Reuse cheat sheet.
4. Select the cheat sheets.
5. On the top left, enable or disable Keep link.
   • If you enable Keep link, editing the imported cheat sheet will also edit the original cheat sheet.
   • If you disable Keep link, the imported cheat sheet will be independent.
6. On the top left, click Import.

If you imported the cheat sheet with Keep link enabled, you can still create an independent cheat sheet by duplicating the sheet, and removing the original cheat sheet.

Edit a cheat sheet

See Edit a course.

Allow learners to download a cheat sheet

You can allow learners to download a cheat sheet in PDF format.

1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
2. On the right of the course row, click Edit.
3. In the left sidebar, click on the cheat sheet.
4. At the bottom of the cheat sheet, check the box This cheat sheet will be downloadable by the learners.

When learners play the activity, they will now have a download button at the bottom of the cheat sheet.
