Hello, In looking at many teachers' records, it seems that grades have not been syncing to PowerSchool successfully since last Friday, even though they have it set up to sync automatically each night. Is anyone else noticing this? Is it intentional perhaps? Thanks for your time.
All of my assignments on New Quizzes that were migrated over from old quizzes are not rendering the math equations from the LaTex code. It is only showing up when I re-insert it as an equation and "image" on the HTML editor. This is happening, at least, across my entire department. Is this an issue everywhere and is there…
How to change Per centages of an assignmnet group
Has anyone experienced a Latex rendering issue since the outage? For example, \(\times10^{12}\) should display scientific notation, and \(\mu C\) should display uC, where "u" is the Greek letter mu. In my assignments, the code is not rendering. Did Canvas do something to MathJax during the outage? Is this a known issue?…

I’m in the final weeks of my courses, and I’ve just learned that Canvas FFT accounts have been temporarily disabled due to the recent breach incident. At this point, I don’t know when access will be restored or whether these accounts will even be reopened at all. One of my biggest concerns is the possibility that FFT…

Issue 1: No voice command support for submitting or confirming text When using speech‑to‑text in a SpeedGrader comment box: Common commands such as “enter”, “new line”, or “submit” are not recognised Users must switch to keyboard or mouse to finalise or submit feedback This breaks hands‑free workflows and undermines the…
So, I think we are less than a day out from when a notorious & established multi-national hacking group said it was going to publicly release user data stolen from thousands of schools across the country (world, possibly?). Any, uh… anyone got any news out there? Tips…? Best practices…? …🦗..🦗🦗…🦗🦗🦗…🦗… 🏏🏏🏏….🏏
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to find the contact information for for my customer success manager/canvas support rep?

With the new options for embedding Studio videos and having the transcript visible, if Studio does not load for whatever reason, are students still able to download the transcript from this screen?
The goal is to create a SQL query to extract the student (prefer the student ID), the course, the assignment, and the associated grade. I have the following query but it is not what I want or need. I am purposefully limiting it to a particular term but need all of the courses, assignments, scores by student. SELECT…
After activating this feature teachers who need to grade large numbers of students noticed that now the list of students displayed in the right corner, opening after clicking the drop down arrow, always returns to the top of the list. (Showing the students with names starting with “A”) instead of keeping the list focused…

Hello, Are the email notifications being sent when a course announcement is posted? I have a report of them not working for both students and the professor in a course. They were working prior to the incident last week. I also created a test course to see if my notifications would come through to myself after turning on…
Is there any sign when Beta will return. There is a release scheduled for Saturday, May 16, and I need to test these new features before they hit production. Is there any chance this release will be delayed to allow people more time to review/test these features given recent incidents that may have distracted a few of us…
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?
Hello, How are you handling grade entry during the downtime? We had to disable Canvas APi in our SIS, Does anyone know whether manual grade passback after re-enabling successfully pushes current grades to Skyward? or do you recommend Canvas as "working gradebook" or shifting fully back to Skyward?
Is the Submitted date and time the moment when the button was pressed, or the moment when the quiz uploaded into the system?
Is there a way for the grading rubric to have a default selection set? I have a rubric that checks if a student has mastered a learning objective at the end of the semester (yes or no) and most students are 'yes'. It is tedious to click yes 10 times per student in each class. Can the rubric auto generate a 'yes' and I can…
On April 21 and 27, 2026, the student’s submission page appeared empty on my end. Upon checking again on May 5, 2026, a submission is now visible and is dated April 21 at 9:01 AM. Canvas note: Student Viewed Document: May 4 at 10:21 PM. How is this possible? There is only one submission, and it requires a PDF file upload.…
