Embed a File into Discussion Board

[pbeyer]

I am trying to upload files into the discussion forum.  When I go through Canvas, through the settings, clicked on files, then clicked on upload, it comes back with error 400.  Could I please have help with embedding files to the discussion board.  Thank you

Hi  @pbeyer a, thanks for your question. 

Some clarity is needed here:

1) Are you setting up a discussion as an instructor ?

or

2) Are you adding files to a discussion as a student?

Let's address each one. 

1) Here's how to add a file to a discussion as an instructor How do I attach a file to a discussion reply as an instructor? 

2) Here's how to add a file to a discussion as a student How do I attach a file to a discussion reply as a student?

Sing out if you need a hand.

I am a student and need to embed an image to the discussion board, not attach a file.

Thank you, Patricia Beyer
