Hi all!
I have a question regarding storing institution-specific documentation and tips for students in Canvas. Currently I have a "documentation" course where I place common documentation (which I give links to several other courses). My problem is that the link validator is saying that these documents are in a "different course", which will throw off people validating each course's links. Is there a better way to store data that is common or shared by other courses, or do I just need to deal with the false positive error message?
Thanks,
Tim Darrow

@tdarrow β, I tested this with a link and got the same "different course" results.
My thoughts for this are:
Hope this helps!

Hey Kona,
I am beginning to lean more and more towards using Canvas Commons as a usable resource. I may also settle on creating a "Student Resource Center" course where I enroll all Canvas students automatically. I am going to try to use this solution or Canvas Commons to store widely-used material in so I can broadcast it over several of my courses.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Here is a direct link to @jacob_standish 's tutorial Embed a Google Drive Folder.
Not only do students "stay" in the course, but the embed will allow them to preview the documents from within the course as well!
