Resources are one type of user-generated content in Totara, used to share short-form content such as articles or videos with other users.

Follow these steps to create a new resource:

1. Go to Your library in the main menu.
2. Click Create new, then select Resource.
3. Give the resource a title.
4. Add the resource content in the text editor, then click Next.
5. Select an option for the visibility of the resource:
   • Hidden (only you)
   • Limited (only people and workspaces you share to)
   • Public (anyone can see and share this content)
6. If you select Hidden or Limited then select an option for Time to read.
7. If you select Public you’ll need to assign tags using the Assign one or more tags dropdown.
8. If you select Public or Limited you can choose who the resource is shared with using the Share to specific people or workspaces dropdown. Note that this setting is optional if set to Public.
9. Select Done to create the resource.
