There are times you may want to make a document available for students to download from Canavas, and it is actually pretty easy to do. We’re going to use the English 150 course template as an example for this tutorial so you can see how easy it is to link to a document that is in your Canvas Files.
Step 1
Navigate to the Weekly Module you want to add the File to
Step 2
Click the + icon to open up the options for you to add to the module
Step 3
Choose to add File from the dropdown menu
Step 4
Find and select the file you want to add to the module and click Add Item
Step 5
Make sure the item is Published and move it under Resources or wherever you choose in you module.
You have now added a file to a module! You can use this same process on a Page or in an Assignment in Edit Mode.
