Display Protected Content in Menu
When protected content is displayed in a WordPress menu a client can click a menu link to go directly to your protected content. This is great if your protected content is in an offering, but you do not need a page of content to go with it.
Client view
Upon click the file will either download or open in a new tab in browser (this is different for every client based on their browser and chosen settings.)
Developer View
Appearance → Menus → Screen Options
Add protected content to the menu of your choice.
Display Protected Content in an Objective Checklist
You can display protected content in objective checklists. Once the client clicks on the file it will either download or open in a new tab in browser (based on the client’s browser settings) and mark this item complete on the checklist.
