Step by Step: Linking to a Microsoft OneDrive file within a Module

To link to a document with Office 365:

Step 1: Access a course.

Step 2: Navigate to the Modules tab.

Step 3: Click or tap the plus (+) icon in the module where you'd like to link to a document.

Step 4: In the drop-down menu, click or tap External Tool.

Step 5: From the list of available tools, click or tap “Microsoft OneDrive” followed by “Add Item”.

Step 6: If prompted, Sign in with your JJC email and password. You may need to pick your account from an additional pop-up dialog. If you don’t see this dialog you may need to disable pop-up blockers from within your web browser.

Step 7: Search or browse for the file you'd like to link to, and click or tap the file followed by “Select”.

Step 8: The file will upload and take you back to the previous dialog box.

Final Step: Complete the configuration by changing the displayed Page Name if needed and click or tap the Add Item button.

Note: Changes made to your document from OneDrive will apply automatically to all locations where that document is linked. Although O365 prompts you to "attach" a file, you are creating a dynamic link to a document, so there is no need to re-link the document in Canvas after revising.
