Copying/Pasting Images No Longer Allowed in the Blackboard Content Editor
Blackboard has recently disabled the ability to copy and paste images in the Content Editor. This change is due to performance / accessibility issues caused by the paste process.
NOTE: Users can still copy / paste text into the Content Editor as before; this change only affects pasted images.
When you attempt to paste a copied image in the Content Editor, you will see this error message:
Local image paste has been disabled. Local images has been removed.

You can also manually drag and drop the file into the box area.
2. Locate and select the file to attach it. The file name will appear within the File Name box.
4. Complete the process by clicking Submit.
Attaching Files & Images Using the Text Box Editor

3. At this point, the Text Box Editor should contain the link to the file attachment. If it is an image, you should see a preview of the image. Click Submit when finished, as per normal.
