The title says it all - This seems like it should be a simple thing to fix. I've been careful not to overshoot the due dates when I'm updating any due date errors after transferring a course, so it hasn't been a big issue. However, this semester, Canvas added an extra week of vacation in the middle of my class, forcing…
I have a student enrolled in a course who has been able to access content with no problem. But yesterday she was suddenly unable to log in, and that has continued. She tried to change her password, but Canvas never sends her an email with a link to change it. She also has stopped receiving announcement emails. What's going…

One of the most valuable parts of building Canvas is learning directly from the people who use it every day. Earlier this year, we introduced the Canvas Collaborative Roadmap to create a more transparent, ongoing way for customers to share contributions, vote on roadmap cards, and help shape future investments.

We have an instructor where someone accidentally created a duplicate record for him. This record has been around a while (canvas IDs are 2683 and 2691, so only a few new users apart. The records were then merged, and the instructor has been with us for several years now without issue. Until now. We're syncing Fall courses…

Has anyone found another viable option for an independent teacher needing an LMS? I see some posts about Google Classroom, but frankly I'm not a fan. Is there another free LMS that is available to us since Instructure won't have anything available for us before classes start in the fall?
July 6, 2026 - The Discovery Page is now available in Beta and will be released into Production as part of the July 15 deploy. Update: The deprecation of the Legacy Login UI has been postponed. Due to a delay with the Native Discovery Feature, a new deprecation date has not yet been determined. We will announce the updated…
This question does not relate to activating the "Student View." I am trying to test items that are placed in a course by professors to see how they behave for both students and the professor. I would like to get/add a test student within the course. For example, to see whether a rubric would function for a professor if…
Hi! Some of my faculty have been asking about spellcheck in the comments box. Is that in the timeline? Thanks in advance!

Hello! Loving the new stickers. I wonder: could we have X and Check Mark stickers in Canvas for shorter grading feedback? Thanks!
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.

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. Based on the Instructure FAQ, we understand that only the following fields are transmitted during a sync: Assignment Description Assignment Group Association/Category…
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?
