How do I add a thumbnail image to my shared resource?
When sharing a resource to Commons, a placeholder thumbnail image displays by default. If you prefer to use a different image, you can upload an image from your computer to replace the placeholder image . A thumbnail image is a visual representation of your resource and is used in the Commons resource repository. The minimum size of your thumbnail must be at least 147 pixels high and 262 pixels wide.
Notes:
- To enable Commons in your Canvas instance, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
- Commons is available in all Free for Teacher (FFT) accounts. Free for Teacher users are limited to finding, importing, and sharing public resources.
