# Moodle courses

[Findle](https://github.com/alexmodrono/Findle) is a free, open-source app that syncs Moodle and Open LMS course files to Finder. If you use it, Folio shows your courses in its sidebar, ready to read and ask about.

## Connect

Until Findle is set up, the sidebar has a **Connect Moodle** row:

- Without Findle, it offers **Get Findle**.
- With Findle installed but not set up, it offers **Open Findle**. Sign in to Moodle there and pick your courses.

Once Findle has synced, the courses appear under **Moodle**. If Folio picks the wrong Findle folder, choose **Change…** next to **Courses** in **Settings › Moodle**.

To hide the row, choose **Hide from Sidebar**, or turn off **Show in sidebar** in **Settings › Moodle**.

## Read-only

Course files belong to Findle, so Folio never renames, moves, or deletes them. To keep your own copy, right-click a file and choose **Copy to My Documents**.

## Files not yet downloaded

Findle lists course files before downloading them. Folio shows those as **Not downloaded** and doesn't read them in the background, since reading would download them. Open a file, or right-click and choose **Download**, to fetch it.
