I used to be able to quickly see, at a glance, what assignments were ungraded in SpeedGrader because they had a little orange dot next to them. I would also easily be able to skip over the unsubmitted ones. But now… What's up with this? Who approved this change? I don't like it. They could have added the written labels…
It would be revolutionary if you could maybe include a link to the actual canvas studio instead of vague gestures at instructions that are completely unfollowable and leave the reader with literally no better idea about how to access canvas studio than before reading it. While this is very frustrating, I'm almost more…
Searching through 'All Pages' can be cumbersome, especially as the year goes on. Is there going to be a folders feature added so that pages can be sorted and categorized, similar to how documents and images can fall under different umbrellas?
“You can do what?” That’s the puzzled look I get almost every time I show Canvas users how to add a blank line to a module. Blank text headers could easily be called a hidden feature. My guess is they’re not well known. So what would a blank text header even be for? Here are a few uses: Add space between parts of a module.…
We are thrilled to announce that the On-Demand Training Portal is getting an exciting refresh! We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to update the user interface to make your learning journey smoother, faster, and more accessible. Please bear with us during the transition to the new UI as there may be minor…
Release notes outline upcoming customer-impacting changes that are expected to be displayed in production environments. Please note that features considered for future development are not included in the notes. Canvas Catalog is an all-in-one learning solution that integrates with the Canvas LMS as a course registration…
Can Canvas Catalog provide admins with a "View As User" capability, similar to the "Act As User" ability within Canvas LMS? This would be useful to help troubleshoot issues within Canvas Catalog reported by students. If this capability already exists, pardon my apparent ignorance. I haven't found it yet.
I have entered several Outcomes at the Admin Level and created rubrics from them (also at the Admin level). However, I can not find out how to add them to my course. Old notes are obsolete…
I have a Group discussion, when I reply to students, I cannot link common class pages AND redirected pages on the main page, are not visible - this includes my main reading and reading page with links to the readings. Is there a way to add these links into the Group discussion, so students do not have to constantly swift…
Anyone else notice a change in the Course Navigation link Interface. Tools that are natively not visible to students, now have the hidden eye icon next to them in the instructor view and a rollover tip "hidden by admin. Not visible to students" . For instance, Attendance, see below , I don't believe this was the case…
Hi everyone, We use Canvas to share study material (videos, PDFs, reading material) and quizzes with doctors enrolled in our courses. Our usual workflow is to add the doctor to the course, wait for them to accept the invitation, and then assign them the required quizzes. I’m having a problem with one student. I added her…
Release Timing: Generally Available November 202026 Regional Availability: Available in all regions Customer Type: All customers Available with: Canvas Core | New Quizzes Key Takeaway: New Quizzes is introducing a series of small but targeted improvements designed to reduce common friction across assessment creation,…
Grade by question is not working, at least for me. It used to work. I haven't changed anything. In speed-reader if I want to grade question 15, for example, I can grade one student's, then go to the next student and it should (and used to) go straight to question 15. But now, it starts at the top and I have to scroll down…
My Canvas Lite teacher account is working, but my students' accounts are not. They are able to setup their accounts using the course activation code, and initially that works fine (including receiving the initial registration email). However, once they log-out from their initial login, they are not able to log back in…

I attempted to download my courses from the old Canvas Free-for-Teacher platform during the July 28–29, 2026 access window, but technical errors prevented me from completing the downloads. I understand that Instructure acknowledged problems during that period and that other users experienced similar difficulties. I have…
For those of you who use the Learning Mastery Gradebook in your courses, what are your thoughts about the updates? Do they improve your understanding of students' outcome mastery? What about the interface? The old version certainly needed some improvements. I did like the pie charts, however. Hovering the mouse pointer…

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…
I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
We assign coursework by section, and teachers enter the transfer grades on each assignment from before the student’s enrollment date. However, those grades do not satisfy the modules’ “Submit the assignment” requirements. Students still have to go back to the beginning of the school year and submit blank documents and…
We have a teacher who, when trying to add discussions to a module, cannot see all of them. One of my theories is that there are too many discussions in the course, as there are over 400, and that the pop-up window can only display a limited number at a time. This is just a theory, though. This is a blueprint course, and we…
I have gone through the verification of identity three times in the past three week. I verify, take all the pictures, wait for an email and am notified that i am verified. I can stay in my class for a week until I get a message that I am not verified because of a blurred photo of either myself or my documentation and have…

Proving mastery in the age of AI. October 29, 2026 | 9 AM MT / 11 AM ET AI can write the essay and pass the test. So what still counts as proof that a student learned something? That question now lands on assessment strategy, integrity policy, and accreditation evidence — not just on individual courses. Join Instructure…
Most small businesses and mid-market teams don't have a training department. They have someone who got handed a stack of policies and a deadline. This webinar looks at how Canvas Career by Instructure helps those teams build and launch courses fast, without a big content team or a long build process. We'll cover what sets…
