I've created assignments and students can use a variety of formats to submit work online, but I don't see a link (icon) on the assignment page itself for students to actually add the file.
What am I missing in the set up of these Assignment pages?
Need quick answer (if possible) Thanks!

The screens you are seeing for setting up your assignment are going to look a bit different than they would for a student. For example, it wouldn't really make sense for you to submit the assignment via your role because you are the instructor. Thankfully, Instructure provides a "Student View" so you can see what the assignment will look like from a student's point of view. How do I view a course as a test student using Student View? So, create your assignment making sure that you have all your settings the way you want, and then use the Student View to see what it looks like. Here are some additional Guides for students on how to submit assignments ... based on the kinds of assignment types you are allowing:
How do I submit an online assignment?
How do I submit a text entry assignment?
How do I submit a media file as an assignment submission?
How do I submit an assignment on behalf of a group?
How do I submit a peer review to an assignment?
How do I upload a file as an assignment submission in Canvas?
How do I upload a file from Google Drive as an assignment submission in Canvas?
How do I submit a cloud assignment with Google Drive?
How do I upload a file from Microsoft Office 365 as an assignment submission?
How do I submit a cloud assignment with Microsoft Office 365?
Also, these video tutorials for Students is a good resource:

I hope this information will be of help to you, Howard.
