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!

The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
