Embedding a Link in a Class Announcement

[pmb2103]

Hi: I am sending my class an announcement. I would like to embed a link to a questionnaire that I developed in google. When I insert the link it does not seem to work.

Good evening,  @pmb2103  Thank You for posting your question.  Sorry to read that you are having troubles with link you want to include in a course announcement.  To be certain, are you following the instructions included in this Guide?  https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10305-4152719751  If you could maybe explain the steps you are taking to include this link in your announcement, that might help, too.

Looking forward to hearing back from you soon, Pat.

Hi I am all set... thank you so much!

LOL, I just realized that my question is about messages instead of announcements, however, @Chris_Hofer it seems that the link in this solution is broken, just FYI.

Thanks for doing what you do!

Hi @lynchj12 ...

There are two possibilities as to why the link in my above response no longer works...

• The Canvas Community switched platforms last Summer, and as a result some links didn't re-direct properly...which may be the case for this one.
• The link I provided points to a Guide that no longer exists any more in the Community.  I'm not able to tell exactly which document I would have linked to in that response...since that was over a year ago.

With these things in mind, did you have a specific question I could try to answer for you about messages in Canvas?

I do, same question:  How do I provide a link in a Canvas Announcement since the rich content editor is not available in announcements, at least for me. Thanks
