How do I embed a Lucid document in the Rich Content Editor?
You can embed a Lucid document in the Rich Content Editor using the Lucid toolbar button.
With your Canvas account, you get free full access to the Lucid Education Suite apps Lucidchart and Lucidspark. Lucidchart is an intelligent diagramming application that allows you to visualize complex ideas, systems, and processes. Lucidspark is a virtual whiteboard application that enables teams to ideate, design, and build better ideas.
Before accessing Lucid from within Canvas, you must set up and connect your free Lucid account.
