New Rich Content Editor
What is the Rich Content Editor?
The Rich Content Editor (RCE) is what you interact with when editing course content in Canvas. This includes entering and formatting text, embedding files & media, and inserting URL links within your course.
The RCE is used when editing: Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, and Quizzes.
