To select multiple files for upload on Canvas, you add them one file at a time using the provided interface options.
Understanding File Uploads in Canvas
When you need to submit several documents for an assignment or discussion, Canvas often provides a way to attach more than just one file. However, the process involves adding each file individually rather than selecting them all at once from your computer's file explorer window using typical multi-select methods (like holding Ctrl or Cmd).
Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Multiple Files
Based on the provided information, here is the process for selecting and adding multiple files:
- Select the First File: Click on the Choose File button. This action will typically open a file selection window on your computer. Browse to and select your first file.
- Add Another File Option: After selecting the first file, look for a link or button often labeled something like Add Another File. Click this link.
- Select Subsequent Files: Clicking "Add Another File" will create a new Choose File box. Click on this new button and select your second file.
- Repeat as Needed: Continue clicking the Add Another File link and selecting files one by one until you have added all the documents you intend to upload.
- Submit Your Work: Once all files are listed and ready, click the Submit Assignment button (or the relevant submission/save button for discussions, pages, etc.).
This method ensures that each file is individually attached to your submission or item within Canvas.
Summary Steps:
- Click "Choose File" for the first file.
- Click "Add Another File".
- Click the new "Choose File" box for the next file.
- Repeat "Add Another File" and "Choose File" until all files are selected.
- Click "Submit Assignment" (or equivalent).
By following these steps, you can successfully attach multiple files according to the method described for use within the Canvas platform.
