How do I attach a file to a discussion reply as an instructor?

You can attach a file to a Discussion reply using the attachment icon. Attached files are also uploaded to your Personal Files in the unfiled folder.

Notes:

  • You can only upload one attachment in your reply. Once an attachment is posted to a discussion post, the attachment cannot be deleted.
  • Instructors have the option to not allow students to attach files to Discussions. If you cannot attach a file, this feature has been disabled.
