Insert Stuff is a tool that resides in the text-editor next to the Quicklink tool. It looks like the play-pause-record-stop icons stacked in a square. When clicked, a multitude of options appear for insertion. They are listed and explained below.
Options
My Computer
Various file types can be uploaded from your computer. There is also the option to choose where the file is stored in the Course Files in Brightspace, to retrieve for later if need be.

Add Robotest
Course Offering Files
Select and choose a file that has already been uploaded into the Course Files. Files are normally uploaded to Course Files by default when first inserted, so it may be beneficial to find repeat files and documents here.
Public Files
Select and choose a file that has been uploaded to the Brock Public Files. Chances are there isn’t much reason to insert a file from the Public Files.

Search through previously recorded Video Notes to re-insert one.
