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.

As of December 28, 2020, the current Rich Content Editor will be upgraded to the New Rich Content Editor.

The new editor is more accessible for screen readers and allows for easier editing on mobile devices. It also has an auto-save feature built in.
