Insert a Document in the RCE

Overview


The new RCE allows to upload files from the computer. Files uploaded in the New Rich Content Editor are added to the Course Files. By default, embedded document links display an icon that allows users to preview the document in the Rich Content Editor.

When a document is uploaded to the New Rich Content Editor from an assignment, quiz, or discussion, the file is saved to the Uploaded Media folder in Course Files and defaults to hidden status. Students can view the file when the assignment is made available to them.
