| Maximum size of original file saved directly into project | When a file is inserted to a project, SmartTutor creates a copy of the file and stores it in that project (to ensure that even if you rename, move, or delete the original file, the inserted item will not be affected).If the original file is large, storing it directly in the project will consume more disk space than necessary, which severely reduces the performance and prone to errors that might corrupt the project. |
