we provide students with exemplars to aid them in their assessment, but we don't want them to be able to download the documents. Can we do this?
Generally it's difficult to stop someone from downloading a document that's online, as even if it's a page without a download button, the viewer can usually "print it as a PDF", or at least take a screenshot (maybe LockDown browser can stop that, but I don't know).
Treat any file published in Canvas as something students might be able to download, as they can be accessed by guessing the file ID (unless the file is in an unpublished module).
There's probably a solution (that would make it very difficult, but probably not impossible to download) involving an iframe and an external service, but it's not likely to be accessible.
Hi @MarciaPRIOR ,
@Gabriel33 is correct, you are not able to prohibit students from downloading documents and files.
A possible alternative would be to embed the document using Google or another platform, but even then, as Gabriel mentioned, students can still take screenshots or screen record. So unfortunately it's kind of difficult to fully stop students from saving these documents themselves.

I don't want to use item banks. Item banks don't show me the actual questions - it just shows a block of text that says…
I was looking for a tool that lets me see all discussion posts made by one student throughout a term but I couldn't find a discussion post aggregator tool. Is there a way to do that? (I tried checking in Settings; also tried using People to see if I could get to posts under a student name. No luck.)
Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
