Step 5: Finally, the PDF is added to your classroom. Don’t forget to lock the classroom content to avoid any accidental changes.

Note: Custom PDFs can be added in a classroom as stand-alone content. This means that you can add a Custom PDF even if your classroom does not contain any BSD course or project.
