    1. Select the Choose File button in the Zip File: field to browse for the .zip file to upload into CourseArc
    2. Once the ZIP file is uploaded, select the display file from the dropdown (e.g., index.html). Once a file is selected, a preview of the launch page will appear at the bottom of the form
    3. Adjust the width and height as needed
    4. Select Yes if the content is responsive and it will auto-resize it to fit mobile screens
      1. Note: This option should only be used if you are certain that the uploaded content is responsive
    5. Select Add+ to add the block to the page
  4. The new block will now appear on the page in the edit page view. Select the “Publish My Edits button to save the block
    1. Note: Some legacy content may not be accessible. It is recommended to have legacy content tested by an accessibility expert to ensure that content is compliant with Section 508 standards.
