How do I make files available in canvas? I want the lock icon off.
Hello @richmondja ...
Are you an instructor or are you a student? The only "lock" icon I can think of is a padlock icon that shows over the "Submissions" folder in your personal "Files" storage area of Canvas. If you can provide some more details for us...including maybe a screenshot of where you are seeing this lock icon, that would be helpful. Thanks!
