Identifying students who need extra support is one of the most important responsibilities of an institution, and it's also one of the hardest things to do early. By the time a student is clearly struggling, the window for meaningful intervention has often already closed. That's why we're introducing predictive insights in…
Hello, I have a number of assignments that require students to complete peer reviews. Because my course is self-paced and students are progressing at different rates, I created completed sample submissions using the Test Student account so that students would always have a submission available to review. However, when I go…
In May, we opened a short, secure window to log in to Free-for-Teacher and export your course content. We’re doing that one final time to give more of you access to the content you need. Another window to access your content. We're opening Free-for-Teacher again, in the same secure, limited way, from 12 am ET on July 28…

Hi, Can someone from the Canvas team please support me in exporting my course content? There was no email sent or a clear post on the relevant Free-for-Teacher version page to have known about the open window period. This is causing quite the conundrum for my team and me. I would greatly appreciate some assistance.…
As I am preparing for the upcoming trip to Kentucky, I would like to start making plans. I was wondering if anyone knew when the conference App would be available? Thanks in advance!
If you missed it, you missed it. But here's your chance to catch up (and crash the next one). Ever inherited a course? Imported content from another system, found a dozen unpublished pages, and thought: where do I even start? That was the thread running through every demo in this Prompt Party. Farrah King and Justin…
What we're doing and why. In response to the security incident that affected Canvas in May 2026, Instructure has launched a comprehensive hardening program.

Is it possible to have viewing a page or satisfying the requirements of a module be part of the course pacing?
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
At Intelvio, we're not just delivering training; we're preparing career-focused learners with workforce-ready skills, and we make sure the platforms behind that training are ready to support them. So when we came across Canvas Career, we knew right away we wanted to try it, test it, and see how it could support our…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
I ran a course accessibility audit, and it kept flagging a color contrast issue that WCAG noted was AA and AAA compliant - #ffffff against #751a1a. Wondering if I was missing something like an <style> or <div> tag, I asked the IgniteAI Agent to verify and it came back with the following response. Sharing with my team, as…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
We have a campus reporting that notes/comments entered directly in PowerTeacher Pro are being removed after a Canvas-to-PowerSchool grade sync runs.

I have multiple Canvas courses to add to the requirements needed to complete a step along a pathway. Is there a way to copy a step or copy the requirements from one step to another?
