Hi everyone, We have encountered an issue with New Quizzes and wanted to confirm whether this is expected behavior or if we are missing a setting. When using SpeedGrader in New Quizzes, instructors are unable to manually assign a score if the student has no submission. The score field does not allow manual entry when the…
when students post their response to a discussion question, I am not able to see them via speedgrader. Also if they reply to a peer it does not show up under the students name so I am not able to track their participation in the discussion.
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.
Hi Community, We are currently diving into the Admin Analytics to provide data-driven feedback to our higher education programs regarding course design and student engagement. Specifically, I am looking at the "Interactions by Category" chart (see attached screenshot). To interpret the data correctly, we are trying to…
Where do I find the recorded lectures on zoom?
Hi everyone, Is there anyway I can download all discussion posts, similar to downloading assignments? Thank you. Zehra
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?
Getting this error when asking a question:
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…
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?

When a student submits an assignment with the incorrect orientation, it is easy to rotate it. However, after rotating, the "T" button is unavailable. This was not always the case. Any thoughts on why this is or how I can change it back?
In new quizzes, I know you can shuffle the questions throughout the quiz as well as the choices within each question. However, is there a way that you can set only certain questions to shuffle around the quiz and have other questions remain in a certain order? Sometimes it makes sense for some questions to stay in order to…
We would like to create a custom certificate rather than use the provided certificates so that we can match other things we are doing. I have seen online that it is possible but we're trying to find out where it is. Please help!!
Tl;dr: All guides will remain accessible via the Community but we need to close down a really old secondary guides site. What is changing? On Monday August 8, 2022 old guide URLs containing ‘guides.instructure.com’ will be taken offline. Will this change impact me? Most users access guides through the Community and will…
The Canvas LMS Release Notes page has been updated and improved to better match previous functionality from our former Community platform. The new release notes feed features tabs to view releases and deploys separately, highlights the latest release notes published, displays the date of the release, the date the notes…
I've seen some messaging that IgniteAI might eventually be a "for pay" feature. I didn't hear anything about this at the last InstructureCon, though. Is there any official information about this?
Exactly like this user: https://community.instructure.com/en/discussion/539385/speed-grader-incomplete-complete-greyed-out I have marked each question as "Check" and clicked Update. Under "Assessment" the Grade is still 0/0 and the dropdown is greyed out. I want to be able to mark each assignment as Complete in…
Breakout Discussions would enable instructors to orchestrate multi-phase discussions that mirror effective classroom facilitation patterns. An instructor creates a master discussion topic, then segments participants into small breakout groups for focused conversation, and finally reconvenes everyone into a unified thread…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Hi folks - I had a sales call recently with an Instructure staff member who told me that Canvas FFT is going to be sunsetted, possibly as early as April 2026. They've actually said this to me several times now, in both email and via phone, though they don't have any actual details and I can't find any public confirmation.…
My journey in this platform has been smooth. I appreciate how one will not lack resource when needing more insights of information for certain activities and for basic understanding.
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!
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.
Hello Mastery Connect world! Student A has the ability to log in on their chromebook, then send Student B the same code who logs in as Student A as the same time. 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. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
