Since which version of Ignition is the webDev module supported in Ignition? I observe that its available in version 7.7.1 and above but not in 7.7.0! and 7.8 (but in 7.8.1 its supported).. Just want to ensure that my modules work on a as many versions of Ignition as possible!

Where to find webdev module for Ignition 8? I was using a build version of Ignition 8. After downloading the latest trial version , installer gave a warning that webdev will have to be manually installed. However I am unable to locate the link for webdev download on Ignition 8. (for archived versions of Ignition there is a link for ignition modules [Archived Ignition Releases | Inductive Automation](https://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/archive) . But where to download the addons for version 8 from?

Webdev is under ‘Device Connectivity’ (misleadingly, I let marketing know about it) on the downloads page: [https://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/ignition](https://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/ignition)

Thanks I got it. ‘Device Connectivity’ is the right place for it. However I was unable to get the downloads/ignition page. Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone, I have a small doubt.  
I have installed the Ignition in a VM in which I have a DNS as well with SSL for that. For eg: [https://link:443](https://link:443)  
So My requirement is like,  
I have the webdev module in trial version.  
I have a pdf on my local computer like sample.pdf.  
While I tried to see this in pdf viewer in local it was working(Created by using the Webdev-- New file resource-- copy mounted path--added this in pdf component-- [HTTP://localhost:443/system/webdev/projectname/sample.pdf](HTTP://localhost:443/system/webdev/projectname/sample.pdf)),  
but when I tried the same in the VM, it is not working, can you please share how I can get it to be done?  
The file is in my local. I tried adding [https://url:443/system/webdev/.........like](https://url:443/system/webdev/.........like) that.  
I don't know where I'm missing the content

Webdev can't expose directories _from your local machine_. It can only expose files from wherever the gateway is installed, or you can _upload_ a particular file into Webdev as a 'file' resource type.
