November Canvas Release Notes

 
Canvas release notes for November include a new rich content editor for uploaded media file placement. 

Newly recorded media and uploaded media is stored in the Course Files folder. This change ensures you can reuse media created or added to a course. Previously, newly recorded and uploaded media could not be repurposed without being exported as part of course content.
