I'm an instructor. I know how to reorder quizzes in Assignments (I grab the 8-dot 'drag handle'). But how do I reorder quizzes in Quizzes? Thanks!

Hi, everyone, I have weekly Discussions set up for small groups in Canvas, with a rubric for grading. Typically they require an original post and a reply or two. When I grade the posts, I will find some where the student did not add the reply. I add a note asking them to add their replies and then I will regrade. Here's…
Previously on the built-in rubrics, vertical view, the rubric items were collapsed. You could expand them to see details of each point value. Now they are expanded by default and I see no way to collapse them. When a teacher is grading 20 of the same assignment, he or she knows what each point value entails. By having them…

I'm working on an LTI 1.3 integration and I've noticed that I have to reach out to users every time there is an update that requires changes to the corresponding developer key (new custom fields, placement, additional permissions for OA2, …). This is extremely inconvenient to users since they often have to enlist the help…
I feel like the math is not mathing: I am running a class that has 100 points possible. I want to make each assignment, no matter how many points it is worth, to have a 'late fee' of 2 points deducted. Because I have to deduct via percentange instead of points. and because I can only specify one deduct calculation per…
We're trying to build out a maintainable way of managing higher-level course content and have that information flow down into course instances. We're currently using integration_id and integration_data on Assignments to effectively identify each assignment. When we create copies, import content, or use Blueprint Courses to…
I am setting up a question where there are three hotspots on an image, and the learner is required to click somewhere in each of them to be marked as correct. The marker is allocating full points if all marks are placed inside ANY of the hotspots - so, if a learner clicks three times in exactly the same location, they…

Whether this year was your first InstCon or your fifth (or tenth), there’s something about the energy, the people, and the shared learning that leaves you wishing the next one started tomorrow. But even with a whole year to wait, it’s never too early to dream. ✨ Next year, we’re headed to Louisville, Kentucky—a new place…
Can you guys like please redesign canvas, because right now, it looks GARBAGE. I'm being serious, like lowkey do it like the "BetterCampus" extension, where everything looks so much better. Please do this because it will make learning so much better.
Could you please clarify about the URL structure for the new Canvas Portfolio feature after the retirement of the ePortfolios on June 30, 2026?
Hi everyone, Over the past few years, I’ve spent a lot of time working inside Canvas - designing assessments, revising them, re-using them across courses, and trying to keep everything coherent as programs evolve. One thing became increasingly clear: the challenge isn’t writing good questions. It’s managing them. Between…
I'm an Admin in Canvas, and I'd like to know if it's possible to change the order of items in the Account menu. Now, we have: -ePortfolio (Legacy) -Shared Items -Portfolio We'd like to have Portfolio above ePortfolio (Legacy), to encourage people to use that, but I can't find a way to do it.

We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
Faculty want to be able to have students sign up for topics in Canvas. They want number of students who can sign up for a topic to be limited (e.g. 4 people). We are in the process of migrating from Moodle and they previously used the Choice tool for this. They don't like the idea of using a collaborative document for this…
As "Ideas" section is gone (at least for now), I'm posting a feature request here. Mobile app shows a list of students who have submitted or not submitted a quiz/assignment. Would be good to have this in web version as well as way to export csv.
We have removed SSO access from our Beta and Test sites, but every time the sites reset, SSO is enabled again. For security reasons, SSO should only be available for Production. How do other institutions manage this issue other than re-removing the SSO authentication setup every month after reset?
I am trying to understand the badge requirements for the "Course Grade" Course Item for the "Complete Item" and "Percentage Score" Trigger Type. I want to award a badge to all students who have scored at least a certain percentage (~90-95%) on every Quiz in the course for a fully asynchronous professional development…
I’m a student exploring a small personal project related to Canvas grade notifications and student experience, and I wanted to ask about what is technically and policy-wise feasible within Canvas. Many students receive email notifications like “A new grade has been posted,” but then need to log into Canvas to actually see…
