Attaching and Re-attaching Files

There will be times when you will need to download a document that your instructor or classmate has posted in Canvas, make changes to the document and re-attach or "upload" it back into Canvas.

Canvas handles attachments similar to email attachments. You cannot open an attachment, make changes and then save the document back to the email message in which you received the attachment. Canvas is no different. Here are the steps to follow:

Open the attachment
Select "Save as" from the File menu
Select a location on your computer (the desktop, for example)
Make changes to the document
Save the document
Re-attach or submit the document to a specified location in Canvas
