[ARCHIVED] How to upload shared theme assets

[sberry7]

I'm managing a sub-account that has custom icons to be used in each course. Where do I upload this icon set so they can be accessed by course builders without having to be uploaded to each course individually?

I'm coming to Canvas from D2L, which has sub-account-level folders where shared icon files are uploaded and paths copied for course implementation, but I can't find a file structure like that in Canvas.

If that's not possible, do you just put all your theme assets somewhere on the web so each asset has a URL?

We are giving the Canvas Admins area a little bit of love and just want to check in with you.  This will also bring this question new attention. 

First, I want to apologize for your question sitting in the community for so long without a response.

Second, it looks like you have stumped the Canvas Community.  Were you able to find an answer to your question? I am going to go ahead and mark this question as answered because there hasn't been any more activity in a while so I assume that you have the information that you need. If you still have a question about this or if you have information that you would like to share with the community, by all means, please do come back and leave a comment.

Hi Robbie,

The University I'm working with doesn't want LMS theme assets to be stored on a separate server, so I wound up just using the Instructure font icons. I sized and styled them in our CSS stylesheet and they work fine. My only worry is that they'll be revised or the glyph codes will change at some point, so I hope we'd be notified if that were to happen!
