1. Access Learning Administration
2. Go to Content > Import Content
3. Select Add New Content > Browse > Next
4. Notice the bolded text states what file types are allowed
5. Clicking on Browse does not show the file that needs to be imported

The desired file extension is not configured (or configured incorrectly) in supportedFileExtensions configuration for the Content Import tool.

1. Proceed to System Administration > Configuration > System Configuration > Edit CONTENT IMPORT property file
2. Search for supportedFileExtensions > add the desired file extension (e.g. *.mp4) separated by a semicolon;
• Example of this would be: "supportedFileExtensions=*.zip;*.pdf;*.doc;*.docx;*.rtf;*.html;*.htm;*.xls;*.xlsx;*.ppt;*.pptx" and we want to add mp4
• It would look like this: "supportedFileExtensions=*.zip;*.pdf;*.doc;*.docx;*.rtf;*.html;*.htm;*.xls;*.xlsx;*.ppt;*.pptx;*.mp4"
• Please make sure that the file extensions are separated by semicolons, otherwise the application will not be able to read it. There should be no spaces between each file type. Remove or do not add ";" or "*" or ";*" at the end;
• Also please make sure all supported file extensions added are correctly written (as per explanation above mentioned and without typos, for example).
