You can go to the area of the course where you wish all the files to be accessed. You can then add a new item and when you do this you will see an option next to browse computer which says browse course. Click on browse course and then navigate to your folder you have just uploaded in the files area and select it.
Once you have done this then submit your new item and it should create a link that takes the students directly to the contents of the file you have uploaded.

Thanks for that Andy.
If I've now got my files unpackaged in a folder I've created in the files area of a course, how do I then link to them in a content area? I can only see to do this one at a time...which kind of negates the joy of unpackaging a whole heap of stuff in one go.
I really hope I'm being stupid and missing something obvious.
cheers

Re: Document Unpackager
You can use the two side facing arrows in the control panel on the files option. This will then take you to a screen showing all your content on the course.
From here you will be able to see an upload drop down option at the top of the screen where you can upload zipped and unzipped documents.
Thanks
Andy

Hi there
My memory's so bad that I can't remember if I've posted about this before...so apologies if I'm repeating myself.
We urgently need a way of unpackaging zip files within content areas in 9.1. The document unpackager currently throws it's teddy out in a grand style and, understandably, because it's not a Blackboard product, Blackboard don't support it.
I've tried to find a contact at Joliet, but with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I know that you can upload zip files into thecourse files area and can display that zip from a content area, but the document unpackager did a great job of properly laying out all content as it was originally organised in folders, etc.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
cheers
sarah
