Hi everyone, Our institution is preparing to adopt Canvas LMS in the near future. As part of this transition, I’ve been tasked with developing a robust Knowledge Base (KB) specifically for the Tier-1 Service Desk, which they plan to integrate directly within the LMS interface (As-a-service ?). I want to ensure our support…
Hi All, One of our customer is trying to setup an integration with our tool. We are using LTI 1.3 dynamic registration. The open id configuration request is completed but in our logs we see that we tried to make registration request towards the registration but the request gets timed out. Any ideas ideas hints what could…
Hiya, it seems that there's no API for diff tags. This seems quite problematic to me as they are being used for marking groups, but then there's no way to use that grouping when getting data out of Canvas LMS. Is there any plan in the works for diff tags to be in the API?
The new log-in system that opens a new tab to handle log-in is super infuriating, if you happen to leave a canvas tab open anywhere you get incessant new tabs urging you to log in every time you open the browser. and if you actually want to log in these [darn] tabs rarely work and you can't even reload the original tab to…

After I enter a grade in Speed Grader, I look back onto Gradebook and some students' grades simply show the assignment icon. If I right-click on it, the actual points appear, but then disappear after…
There are so many irritating places where multiple clicks are needed to do simple. Often a single box would solve the problem. For example, not submitting a comment. What do you think I do when I press cancel? I'm going to go back find the submit button (that was probably just slightly out of view to begin with) submit it…
Is there a way to show only the overall grade a submission received? We have students rotate through a set of assignments over a few weeks and would like to give them an overall grade as soon as possible. But we want to hide the specific feedback until everyone has done a particular assignment. I have found the grade…
A faculty has the results of an ungraded anonymous survey in their course. They want to export the data to perform analysis / share with other faculty. Is there anyway to do achieve this?
