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

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

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