When I insert any image, doc, or item it only shows as a link. I've tried many ways with no luck. Please help.
Hi, @BernadetteVilla !
For images, you can copy/paste from another location, or you can use the image icon in the RCE toolbar. This article explains how.
For documents, this article explains how to upload the file (PDF, Word, etc). The default is for it to be a link that expands when clicked. If you scroll down to "View Document Link", it explains how to make the file expand by default so that students don't have to click on it (Link Options --> Preview Inline + Expand preview by default).
Hope this helps!
Hi @BernadetteVilla
Sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. There are many reasons why, mostly documents (pdfs, Word etc) will appear as links especially when you highlight the text and insert the link.
To understand your issue, when you upload an image where from the RTE are you selecting to add this? Does this happen for images you have uploaded to files?
Thanks
Jen

We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
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…
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…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
