Hi, I am trying to embed an article link and make it preview so that other students can view it while replying. This is on Canvas discussion reply. If someone can help me please. thank you!
Hi @NatalieLuengas,
What you'd be technically looking for is embed code which you'd have to paste into the Canvas rich content editor in HTML mode. There are a lot of technical "gotchas" around displaying a website within a website though, and many official Canvas integrations will not attempt to do that sort of thing because of the issues. I'd personally advise to just use a standard text hyperlink in the discussion, even if it requires users to click, as it's a much more universal solution that will work on any device/browser.
I hope this info helps you out a bit!

My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
