It is possible to reference External Content in Absorb Create. External Content is defined as a website that is outside of the Course itself. There are two common methods to reference External Content:

• External Content Page.
• On Click - Open a webpage.

This article covers both methods.

External Content Page

When adding a Page to an existing Course, External Content is one of the options presented at the bottom:

If you select External Content you will be asked to name the Page.

Once the Page has been added, you are required to provide a valid URL for the External Content you want to open in the Course.

Once the URL has been added to the External Content URL field, the Course will open the website when this Page is accessed by a User. Some websites, such as those requiring specific credentials, or security considerations may not work as intended. It is important to test and confirm all functionality of the External Content is as expected.

The Optional for course completion toggle allows you to determine if viewing the External Content Page is required for the overall Course to be marked as completed. If the toggle is enabled, the User will be able to skip this Page and the Course will still be considered completed upon finishing the last page.
