How do I view Files in the Teacher app on my Android device?

To search for a file, type the file name in the search field [1]. To open the file, tap the name of the file [2].

Notes:

• You must type three or more characters for search results to display.
• Search results will not include file folders.

If you attempt to open a file that cannot be displayed in the Teacher app, the file must be opened using another application. To select an application to open the file, tap the Open with... button.

To edit the file, tap the Edit link [1].

To copy a link for the file, tap the Copy Link link [2].

If you select Restricted Access in the Access menu, you can select how to provide access to the file.

The Only available to students with link option [1] makes the file available to students who are given a link to the file. The file will be hidden to students in Course Files.

The Schedule student availability option [2] gives students a window of time to view the file. If you select this option, the file can be viewed by students in Course Files as well as anywhere in Canvas (such as when the file is added to Modules or Assignments), but the file will be locked and they cannot view the actual file until the specified date.

Note: The Only available to students with link option only applies to Course Files; if you add this file to another area of Canvas, such as Assignments or Modules, all students can view the file.

If you select the Schedule student availability option, you must select availability dates for the file. To set student availability dates, enter the starting date and time for the file to be available in the Available From fields [1]. If applicable, enter the date and time when students can no longer view the file in the Available Until fields [2]. The time fields are set using a 24-hour clock.

Note: The time fields are optional and will default to 12am if not selected.

If usage rights is enabled in your course, you have to set a usage right (copyright) for each file you upload to your course. To set a usage right, tap the Usage Rights menu [1] then select the usage right option [2].

You can also enter the name of the copyright holder in the Copyright Holder field [3].
