Inserting images uploaded from my computer in a message shows up as a link in the message and not the actual image . Clicking on the link downloads it back on to my computer. How can I resolve this?
HI @SJN369
What you are describing is expected behavior. Canvas Inbox is a messaging system, not a full email client. For example, it doesn't have the full text editor functions that other pages in Canvas include. When you attach images they are treated the same as a document or video file would be, that is, a file to be downloaded.
If this is a message that you want to send to the everyone enrolled you might prefer to send an announcement which will allow you to insert an image with the text.
See the linked guide for Inbox attachments.

Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
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…
