How do I create a hyperlink or embed a file from Google Drive into the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?

Open the Rich Content Editor using one of the Canvas features which support the Editor.

Click the Google Drive icon. If the icon does not display directly in the tool bar, the icon is included in the More External Tools drop-down menu.

Locate and click the file(s) you want to link.

To embed the file, click the Embed button [1]. The Rich Content Editor will display a placeholder image for the file.

To link the file, click the Link button [2]. The Rich Content Editor will display a link with the name of the file.

Click the Save button.

Note: When using the Rich Content Editor in Assignments, Discussions, Pages, and Quizzes, you have the option to Save & Publish. When using the Rich Content Editor in the Syllabus and Discussions pages, the Save button may appear as Update Syllabus or Post Reply.
