How can one iframe HTML from Files AND also Share?

[RickHill]

Hello,

Cool trick

I Can save HTML to my Files area, and I can iframe those into my course with no problem.  This is amazing and opens the doors to a whole new level of interactives natively being hosted in Canvas.

Problem: 

This cannot be shared to Commons or simply shared with colleagues.  Furthermore, when duplicating the course, these links break as well with content either being locked with an Access Denied statement.

Question:

Is there a workaround for this? Or am I just stuck with one-hit wonder courses that have to be entirely rebuilt?

@RickHill Welcome!

Are you using relative links to the iframe content or absolute links to the content? In my experience, when you absolute link content in Canvas courses, when you do a course copy, the content will refer back to the old/source course, causing the issues you're seeing with the Access Denied locks.

This is my code which seems pretty Absolute to me.  Can you provide an example of what a relative would look like for a Canvas file?  Thanks

Hm. In my instance, when I go to Files, I'm seeing something like X.instructure.com/files/<id>....are you getting the links from hovering over a particular file from a course?
