Working with Images in the Rich Text Editor

This article explains how to add, edit and delete images in the rich text editor. The rich text editor can be found in multiple places in the platform:

1. In the rich text activity when building a course
2. On the quiz page when you're building a quiz
3. On the assignment page when you're creating an assignment
4. On any course activity pages that have the 'Description' or 'Additional Information' fields enabled.
5. On the receipt sign off page that is accessible when the Commerce feature is enabled

You can identify the rich text editor by the toolbar displayed at the top. All rich text editors offer the same functionalities.

Step 1

In the toolbar, click on the image icon.

Step 2

Click Choose File and select an image file. A blue progress bar displays at the top as the file is being processed.  

Step 3

You will see the image inserted into the Body box once the upload is complete.

Additional Information

• To align your image, click on the image and select the Alignment icon in the toolbar. Select whether you want the image aligned to the left, to the right, or in the center.
• To position your image so your text wraps around it, click on the image and select Edit. Select an option under Position and click Save.

• To link the image, click the image and click Edit. Paste the URL into the Link box and click Save. If you prefer that the link opens in a new window, please ensure that the Open link in new tab button has been selected.
• To delete the image, click the image and press the Delete button within the image editor.

Formatting Note

• We do not recommend resizing images in the rich text editor as it affects the responsiveness of the images on mobile devices.
