when you add an image make it display in discussion

hi

when i add an image to a DB it appears as an attachment. This is unlike most common chat/DBs. And interrupts the general flow of a conversation. Could you change this so that the image displays at a reasonable size both in the online and app versions of canvas please. Could it also include a space for alt text as part of the process of adding it.

I suspect you may be using "attach" a file rather than the icon to "embed" an image.

Do not use "attach" at the bottom of the text window. Look for the "image" icon in the tool bar at the top of the window.

Keep in mind that embedding an image will count against your personal storage limit in Canvas.

This is another major issue I'm hoping to see addressed in the redesign. At the very least it would be nice if it could preview Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive images when they're added to a discussion so institutions with those services could at least offer students a work around that doesn't consume their file storage when they're submitting required media for a discussion assignment.

hi

sorry

i didn't make this clear - does this process work for someone using the app. in my tests this option shown in the link is for online only.
