Hello, The side menu on the right blocks the some of the comment buttons but not all of them. It also looks messy and hard to read. See attached.
Where do I find the recorded lectures on zoom?
Is it possible to for anyone (student or instructor) to delete a comment on a grade? If so, is there a log on the backend showing that it was deleted?
I am having an issue where my gradebook will not sort the assignments in date order. It seems to only impact discussion board assignments, but I cannot see a rationale for why they will not group themselves with their counterparts. The only factor that is new is that I am using the new feature where I can set a different…
Canvas appears to have changed something this year with the intergration from Canvas to the Class Notebook using OneNote. Last year we were able to have class notebooks linked to each course that would automatically add new students when they were enrolled into the Canvas course. This year when we log on we get the…
When creating True or False questions in the survey, there are no answer choices showing or question points. For multiple choice questions, there is no option to select the correct answer. I have tried different browsers with the same results. Is anyone else experiencing this probem?

For the past six months or so, when I engage some of the editing features in Canvas, I'm sent to the top of the page. For instance, if I click on the edit icon (the pencil) to edit the comments in a quiz question, I'll jump to the top of the screen. (And the comments box has meanwhile become editable, but I have to scroll…

Canvas Design: A Creative ConundrumOne of the biggest challenges to building a course in Canvas is knowing where to get started. You open up the course shell, and before you is a blank course welcoming you with four words: “Create a new Module.” Ah, yes, a classic case of the Canvas course writer’s block – punctuated with…

Hi everyone, Is there anyway I can download all discussion posts, similar to downloading assignments? Thank you. Zehra
Could there be a feature added (or maybe there is something out there already) to limit not just the file EXTENSION but the file NAME as well? For example, instead of just requiring "XLSX" extension for JoeSmith-Assignment1.XLSX, we could require "*Assignment1.XLSX" for the filename. This would ensure that students submit…
Getting this error when asking a question:
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.

Student A keeps refreshing their test while Student B completes the test on their chromebook. When it's completed, Student A submits the test. Is there a way to…
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue.
