Tips & Tricks for submitting files

• Make sure you give yourself enough time to submit before the due date and time. 
• Canvas does not support file uploads larger than 5 GB.
• If you have multiple pages to submit, select them all before clicking the submit assignment button.
  
  
  
  
• You're instructor can restrict which files types can be submitted to an assignment. This will show up on the assignment submission page.
  
  
• HEIC images (captured from iOS devices) are not supported in Canvas grading and not everyone has the ability to open them on their computers.
  • If you need to use your phone to take a picture of an assignment, change how your images are saved on your iPhone. 
  • Go into your settings>camera>formats and selecting Most Compatible so they will save as a jpg.
    
    
• Other options for capturing or saving:
  • Use a free scanner app to capture PDF from your phone (examples: CamScanner, Genius Scan or Adobe Scan)
  • Add your images to a Word document and save as a PDF. 
  • Email yourself the images through Outlook and it will auto re-format as a jpg.
