Enabling the resources URL will result in resources being delivered under a separate host name from SEQTA Teach, essentially sandboxing the file attachments. This minimises the chances of malicious attachments gaining access to data in SEQTA Teach.
Important information
Before enabling the dedicated resources URL, the IT admins should confirm that browsing seqtaresources.yourschooldomain shows as a white page with the browser tab title "SEQTA Files". If the tab is not visible or displays an error, enabling the dedicated resources URL option will result in issues with links and images.
Changes to DNS may take time to propagate. Whereas adding a record should be instant.
