Rich Content Editor (RCE) | Building Content in Canvas

Building Content in Canvas

You can access and create content using the Rich Content Editor from Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, Classic Quizzes, New Quizzes, and the Syllabus. 

In the toolbar, you can format text, insert links, images, media, and documents, open external tools, format paragraphs, clear formatting, add tables, insert an equation, and embed media. The toolbar is fixed at the top of the browser window when content is long enough to require a scroll bar.

    • Collaboration: Use Pages as collaborative wiki pages that students can edit, while allowing the instructor to see and monitor the edits.
