Files Index Page

The Files Index Page is where you upload and organize course files such as articles, images, etc. Canvas makes it easy to click-and-drag files from your desktop directly into your course files index page! You can also click and drag files within the Files Index Page to organize them into folders. Files can be linked to in Modules, Assignments, or Pages for easy student access.

Student Access to Files

Files can be published to provide all students access or unpublished to allow no student access. 

 

Using the Publish/Unpublish button you can choose to allow only students with link to access, which makes it not available to all students via the Files index page. In this case you wouldn’t want to add this file to a module or elsewhere, but instead email the link for the file to the appropriate students.

 

You can also set dates of availability for a file to limit student access to a certain time frame.
