NOTE: Canvas is pushing an update to the content editor tool (found in Canvas assignments, pages, etc)
An updated/new Rich Content Editor (RCE) will be on by default in all Canvas courses at the end of this semester. While the interface has changed, the core functionality remains the same with a few new features (e.g., there's a keyboard shortcut menu). To help you familiarize yourself with this new interface, we are pointing you to a few of the documents Canvas has prepared: General demonstration video, Using the menu bar, How to add/modify text
And as always, don't hesitate to contact eberly-assist@andrew.cmu.edu for help.
