Attach a File to a Discussion Reply

If your instructor allows file attachments, you can attach a file to a discussion reply using the attachment icon. Attachments can be added to both graded and non-graded discussions.

Any attachments added as part of discussions are copied to your user files. Attachments for graded discussions are not counted against your user quota and cannot be deleted. Files uploaded using the Rich Content Editor count toward your user storage quota.

Notes:

If the attachment icon does not display, this option is not available in your course.
If your attachment causes you to exceed your user file quota, the file may fail to attach to an ungraded discussion.
If you have permission to edit or delete discussion replies, editing a reply also allows you to remove an attachment.
