The view was display across the page. Now it is lined up left, this makes it difficult to read because all of the students are listed first, then the groups. Moving names within the groups is especially difficult now with this view. If someone thought this looks better, then they obviously do not actually use Canvas.…
I'm trying to add captions to my images in Canvas, and just can't get them to sit where I want. I'm using the method described in the post linked below, but the problem is that the caption defaults to sitting above the image, rather than below. In a test environment on w3schools.com, I can add "caption-side: bottom;" to…
By November, the academic calendar reaches a familiar sprint. Midterms are in the rearview mirror, finals are looming, and both educators and students are running on grit and caffeine. At this point in the semester, none of us have the bandwidth to learn a brand-new, complex tool. What we actually need are reliable…
There seem to be a couple places (right now I can only list one…) that don't respect the "open in a new tab". The one I can find is in any event hovers (like in calendar), with the assignment title, with the class view_event_link. Super minor issue, but it would be wonderful if this could be fixed
Text notes made by the teacher are not included when downloading an annotated file through the speedgrader, whereas comments and highlights are.
Recently, Canvas changed the rubrics in SpeedGrader. Now assessor's comments in Rubrics remain in edit mode even after assesors have clicked "Submit Assessment" and published the grades. My colleagues have the same problem. Is this really how it is supposed to work?
I am using canvas lite for a collage course to learn how to create a canvas course. When trying to make a quiz I keep getting this error message. "There is a problem with this assessment. Please contact your instructor."
Help, I do not have Blackboard as an option when I try to import content on my Canvas Lite. Is there a way to get it to be an option? I only have, "Common Cartridge 1.x Package" "Copy a Canvas Course" "Canvas Course Export Package" I have used Blackboard 6/7/8/9 Ultra for many years with Canvas and Canvas Free but it is…
Whether you’ve built a script to save time on grading or manage an integration your institution depends on, API access helps you make Canvas work for your needs. We want to keep supporting that flexibility while giving you better ways to manage and secure those connections. That’s why we’re building new options to replace…
Is there any possibility to have students that are still pending in a class also marked as such under where they are set in groups? The work on me as a teacher to be going back and forth and wondering why my students are ending up alone in a group project is so much greater than if I could see who is pending and who is not…
Hi, I'm a former Free-for-Teacher user and I need help recovering my content. My account hosted my organization's entire professional training program — many hours of material that we actively depend on. Unfortunately, I was not able to export my courses during the May 28–29 restoration window, and Canvas Support has told…
We need to be able to upload files with Alt text attached to the image, so that the Alt text will always paste with the image. This is a serious accessibility issue, as it is not reasonable to expect us to retype the alt text every time we paste the same image in a different place. Please address this issue ASAP
I am using the new speedgrader UI and anytime I have left a comment on a students assignment it automatically starts generating another comment, so that when I try to move to the next student I get the warning that I didnt finish posting my comment and it will be save as a draft. Even when I click "Do not show again for…
In the new update, I am finding a frustrating glitch when I enter a typed comment to a student submission via SpeedGrader. I type my comment, then click "Submit"--but when I move to the next student submission, SpeedGrader has created a second blank comment automatically and stops me to ask if I want to save it as a draft.…

When uploading Storyline 360 files to Canvas. Most upload fine (the export options are now: SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2024, AICC, XAPiand cmi5, and next zip the file. I create a folder in the FILES section of Canvas and upload, expanding the zip file. I then link the story.html file to a Canvas module), but the latest one uploaded…
Hello - We have an issue where anytime a professor does a manual Relink of assignments or a Resync of Grades via the McGraw Hill Connect, it causes on overwrite in Canvas to assignments that have been configured (in Canvas) to be non-graded. Apparently the McGraw Hill rep indicated that there should be an option within the…
Has anyone successfully synced courses from Banner to a Canvas subaccount using Ellucian ILP? We are currently using Banner as our SIS and are trying to configure course-level subaccount assignments.
I haven't been able to find anything specific about exporting a Canvas Career course. My question is about format: when I export the course through Canvas Academic (there's nothing I saw in Career itself for export), it only exports an HTML/JS zip package. Is that the only option? @canvassupport1 or anyone?

It would be helpful to see at least part of an essay submitted by students as I'm making my audio comments. Now, though, the modal box takes up most of the screen real estate in Speed Grader preventing me from quoting from what the student has submitted. Could it be smaller if one is choosing audio comments (rather than…
My iSpring lectures (in HTML5) were imported into the new Canvas Lite. They play well, but the audio (mp3) is intermittent. In trying to correct this behavior, I cannot successfully re-upload these files. How is everyone else uploading these types of lecture videos?
Hello Canvas Community! Does anyone utilize TouchNet as their payment system for Canvas Catalog courses? And if so, does anyone implement a Marketplace uStore? Other than adding tax into the course enrollment fee, does anyone have a working solution between Catalog and TouchNet Marketplace to collect tax for taxable online…
Hello, I recently signed up for Canvas Lite teacher account and was prompted for verification. I'm planning on using Canvas Lite to host my Drama Club that I am hosting for my community. I just turned 18 so I'm in the process of getting my license except for that I've lost my Birth Cert so I'm having issues getting that at…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
