Images not showing in student view for instructor, but visible for students

I am consistently not able to see published images embedded within discussion assignments I create when I look at the assignments in student view. It does not matter if I use Chrome or Safari--and on Safari I have disabled the cross tracking, so that is not an issue.

Any solutions?

Hi @JohnLeland ...

How are you adding in these images to your discussion topics? Are the images loaded in your course "Files" area of your course? Or, are you copying and pasting images from one course to another? If you could provide some extra details for us here in the Community, that would be great...thanks!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

@JohnLeland you are in safe hands with @dbrace and @Chris_Hofer

I would add two pennies worth

1. Our home grown assessment solution means that our Canvas Assignments are no longer visible to Instructors when using the 'View as Student' button, which is somewhat inconvenient and generates a lot of instructor support calls

2. It would be worth checking with your local Canvas support as to whether they can set up a test student account which would allow you to log in and experience your course as a student using an incognito browser

You might also try adding student to your own Course enrolment in People (if your local settings permit this) which may allow you to see the images.

Do make sure that you take this off again as soon as you are done as it can have unwanted/unexpected consequences for your permissions

I have this same issue and I don't understand how this (creating an incognito student) would solve anything. I can see my images as the instructor, but my students see a broken link. When I log in as a student view, I see the broken link. Thanks.

Gradebook Color Status for Incomplete 2-Part Discussions (Discussion Checking-point)
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Why can't we add a rubric to an essay question in Quizzes?
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
Batch edit assignment due dates by section
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Change Group Assignments to NOT save if no groups are selected
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…
