Adding an image within the Canvas platform, such as in discussion posts, pages, or assignments using the Rich Content Editor, is a simple process.
Step-by-Step Guide to Uploading an Image
Follow these straightforward steps to embed an image directly into your content area:
- Locate the Images Icon: Within the Rich Content Editor menu bar, find the Images icon.
- Select Upload Image: Click on the Images icon and choose the Upload Image option from the dropdown menu.
- Upload Your Image: An Upload Image box will appear. You have two convenient options to get your image into the box:
- Drag and Drop: Simply drag the image file from your computer and drop it directly into the Upload Image box.
- Browse and Select: Alternatively, click anywhere inside the Upload Image box to open your computer's file browser. Navigate to where your image is saved, select the file, and confirm.
- Embed the Image: Once you've uploaded the image file, click the Submit button. This action embeds the image into the Rich Content Editor at your cursor's location.
- Post/Save Content: After embedding the image and finishing your text, click the appropriate button (like "Post Reply" for discussions or "Save" for pages/assignments) to finalize your content.
This method is commonly used across various features in Canvas wherever the Rich Content Editor is available, allowing you to visually enhance your contributions and materials.
