Is there no notification available for students to confirm when they have successfully submitted an assignment? I am sure I've seen and experienced this before, and it seems like a no-brainer to implement, but I have searched our notification preferences and the page in the Kb about it and still have not found a way to do…
I have had this pop up a few time recently on pages that I know had a video here a few weeks ago. I can add the video again and see it. Is this a glitch on our end? Or?? A little obnoxious thinking the page is ready to go… Where the red circles are there used to be videos.

Hi, Are there any plans to improve the annotation tools available within SpeedGrader? I recently used an annotation tool from another platform, and when you clicked anywhere on the student submission, it gave annotation options right where you clicked, so that you didn't have to keep clicking a bar at the top to switch…
I am an admin for a few sub-accounts in my organization. The students in one subaccount in particular can only see their final score. That is, the total points they have earned over the total points in the course (other subaccounts sync with our SIS). This results in them seeing a very low grade with it gradually…
Hi everyone, I’m a developer, and we’ve recently built a tool called NovaTutor.AI that turns course concepts into personalized learning paths for students, similar to the way apps like Duolingo guide learners through topics. Students can work through interactive paths that include: · short video explanations · practice…
So, I started a video for an oral presentation, and I ended the video but then it asked me if I wanted to edit it. So, I started to do so but had to stop, but here's the thing I just closed it down without saving it. Can anyone tell me where it went because I can't find it. It said that it would auto save but where?
Hello, I am an independent programmer, doing API development for Canvas LMS Quizzes. I have access to Canvas LMS Open Source. This version has Classic Quiz, but not New Quiz.

Until recently, I would say for about a week or so on Canvas, students submissions are compressed into a different file format when downloaded. I noticed this with media files such as video .movs turn into mp4s . And uncompressed audio .wav files are converted and downloaded as m4as. Not sure what's going on here, but this…
When I create an Evaluation Portfolio it creates a snapshot of the enrolments, then I can no longer add learners once published. If I have a subsequent enrolment and create a new Evaluation Portfolio, it includes the new enrolment but also adds all the existing learners - creating two Portfolios for the existing learners.…

This post covers the key…
I requested a change in the "view all pages" area for students. I want to be able to have folders so that, similar to modules, we could group pages together, by unit or theme. This way, if students need to look ahead, they wouldn't be confused by older pages that are being saved for a specific reason. I first asked for…
In develop keys, for LTI key we have detail column show client ID and show key button. CLick on the show key we can get the LTI key for integration. Within the new UI it is have link `view in canvas app` and do not have the show key button so I want to ask where we can get the key in new UI
In our CD2 Assignments table, we're noticing a weird discrepancy: - ran a query in 2/2025 and saw 50 assignments in one class from 2018 - ran the query in 2/2026 and there were fewer (only 40 assignments) We looked at the Assignments table, specifically at the ts field. On 10/1/25, 100% of the records in that table (6.5…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Has anyone had a chance to try this with a Canvas quiz? Seems it may have a similar effect as ChatGPT Atlas able to provide all the answers to an open Quiz. https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/05/microsoft_adds_a_sidepane_for/
When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
I tried using the "Hide rubric score total from students" setting in a test rubric attached to an assignment and went through the process of submitting the assignment as a student, then grading it as the teacher to see what the student would see. When I looked at what the student sees I was surprised to find that I could…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
I have a screenshot below from an earlier version of Canvas that has the criterion points WITHIN A RATING written from high to low (eg. 10 to >8.49pts). When I create rubrics in the current version of Canvas (see below) it displays the points within a rating from low to high (eg. 8.5 to 10pts), which is less logical. Was…
UDOIT Advantage says it recently had errors that first added special file permissions, then removed all special file permissions from pages it fixed. Could someone please check my understanding of this error and/or share how you're handling it? Details - may be a fairly narrow problem? It appears to me that they're talking…
