When you add a Google Doc as an external tool in a module--not part of an assignment, but just a link in the module. Does that make a copy for each student? Or is that just a view only copy?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello @LMorlock and welcome to the Community. When you link from Google to a module, it is a static (read-only) copy. If you want the students to edit it, you need to create an assignment and set the Submission as external tool. You will link your assignment here.
This may help you with that. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-cloud-assignment-with-a-Google...
