[ARCHIVED] Some file types are viewable and others must be downloaded. Which ones are which?

[jsirkis]

When grading, I prefer to view students' work without having to download it to my computer or ipad. For some assignments, some student work is viewable in speed grader and some student work has to be downloaded and opened. What file types are viewable within canvas and which must be downloaded. I would like to restrict file types so I can easily view the files.
