Introduction
Before you import third-party content you've downloaded into the LMS, you may need to re-zip (compress) the SCORM package.
Your computer and/or browser settings may have default configurations instructing downloaded zip files to be decompressed during the download process. This would result in a folder that contains the individual files of the SCORM package, but not in a format for upload into the LMS.
Important Note: If you use a third-party utility, like WinZip, the following instructions may not be applicable. Please refer to your product's support instructions.
PC Instructions
