Hi @Regine.D.9648
Thanks for reaching out to the Brightspace Community.
There are a few ways that you can share Word documents with your students depending on how you want your students to interact with the document.
We hope this helps and please reach out if you have further questions.
Regards,

If the institution has an LTI integration of OneDrive with Brightspace can one then use 'Add existing' and add a file present (lets ay a Word document) on the OneDrive to display that document right on that page. So that it will display the document in its own window for our students to scroll through, read, download, print, all depending on what permissions they have? We don't have this LTI integration yet at our institution. Now when I want add a file present on our SharePoint environment I use the link (Create new). But the file won't display in that window due to security reasons. If a students wants to read the file it has to click the page first to open it in a new window. I find this rather unser unfriendly.

Hi @Arman.V.176 ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Brightspace Community. Yes it appears that with the OneDrive LTI, you can embed files, but there are some limitations. Please see the PIE item here. I haven't been able to test in my site, maybe someone else can confirm?
Hi @Douglas.I.860,
Thank you for checking and for sharing the PIE reference! Good to know that embedding via OneDrive LTI is an option, despite the limitations.
Since we haven't implemented the LTI integration yet, I'll keep an eye on this. If anyone else here has tested embedding OneDrive docs directly using the LTI and can share their experience, that would be super helpful!
