There are several ways to embed a document from cloud storage solutions. This page lists options available within Learn Ultra.
When viewed in Learn Ultra, an embedded cloud document is read-only copy hosted in a private SharePoint site for that module.
Please note that, the embedded document is not linked to your original document in OneDrive or the cloud service you selected it from. It is a copy. If you make any changes in your original document this will not be reflected in the document embedded in Blackboard. You will need to re-embed the updated document.
