Hi  @mdrouyn ‌,

Thanks for your question! Many file types can be uploaded to Canvas, but for specific information about which file types can be previewed in Canvas please check out What types of media files can I upload in Canvas as a student? and What types of files can be previewed in Canvas?

I hope this helps!

Hi  @mdrouyn ‌,

Can you verify the assignment is set to accept the PPTX file type? Do the assignment details mention any file restrictions?

Thanks,

Emily

Ok, thanks. The assignment was not set to accept pptx files. Now they can be submitted.
