Select the correct file from your OneDrive and choose to Embed or Link.

  1. The file is automatically set to visible for students. If you do not yet want students to have access to the file, set it to not visible.

You can even edit editable files such as Word and Excel in Brightspace after posting. To do this, click Edit Document. Students, of course, cannot do this.

Note that this does not change the file on your OneDrive. The original file remains. Also, changes to the file on OneDrive will not be reflected in Brightspace; you will have to upload the file again.
