How do I delete media in Canvas Studio?

If necessary, you can delete a video or audio file from Canvas Studio.

Deleting a video or audio file also removes all comments.

Notes:

  • If you delete media embedded in a course from the My Library page, the media remains embedded in the course. To remove the media embedded in a course, delete the media from the course collection.
  • If you delete media from a course collection, the media is only deleted from the course where you are deleting the media. The media still exists in all other courses where the media is embedded.
