Instruction

The Rich Content Editor includes the content area and the content selector.

Anything that can be viewed in a web browser can be inserted into the Rich Content Editor content area [1]. Content can also input HTML directly into Canvas using the HTML Editor link [2].

Users can also easily link to course content using the Content Selector [3], which is displayed in the sidebar any time the Rich Content Editor is open. Depending on the feature area being viewed (course or group), users may be able to link to existing files, images, or links, and upload new files and images.
