I would like to suggest two improvements to Canvas. 1. Allow screenshots to be copied and pasted into emails. Currently, when I copy a screenshot and try to paste it into the email section of Canvas, nothing happens. Please enable users to paste screenshots directly into the body of an email without having to save the…
We should have the option to allow students to unsubmit an assignment IF THE SUBMISSION was submitted prior to the assignment deadline. Students submitting assignment 3 into assignment 4 and precluding me from updating group assignment settings is just so frustrating.
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.

When I enter grades in Speedgrader, they are now being marked as "Hidden." I didn't change any settings, so I'm not sure why it's suddenly marking grades as "Hidden."
As of today 10/13/2026 the late penalty on my assignments is disappearing, even without any instructor input. Pictured below you can see the issue: the assignment is due 10/10/2026 11:59PM (bottom) and was submitted on 10/12/2026 10:17PM. The late penalty initially shows, and the automatic 0 for missing assignments at the…
I am a new IT student needing help finding my eBook inside Canvas Instructure for class today can anyone help me please?
I have had several students who were able to set up an account and join my class, but they were not able to actually log in. They have tried the Forgot Password link, and they are not receiving an email. I have also tried to "resend" an invitation to join the class, and they don't get an email that way either. I have…
I previously used Canvas Free for Teachers to create and teach courses. After the Free for Teachers shutdown, I successfully exported and imported my courses into Canvas Lite. I appear to have both instructor and student membership status associated with my account, and these identities or enrollments seem to be linked. I…
Hi all, When uploading a SCORM package and outputting as an assignment, full screen works within the package. However when outputted as a page, it doesn't. Anyone found a getaround that isn't "just use the assignment option??"
Now that we have an "Add Link" to the Navigation menu, is there a way to DELETE a link I created that had an error? I know how to disable it, but can I delete it?
Suddenly I'm hearing from instructors that their flashcard embeds from Quizlet are not loading. Is this happening elsewhere? What could be the issue? Our institution is not blocking quizlet.com because we can get to the website, but the
Canvas LMS and its mobile apps have been open source for 15 years. This means that the code is publicly available, and anyone can run the software by themselves without paying Instructure. However, ever since the hack in May, Canvas has not updated its open source repositories with any new code. Since the hack has clearly…
Good morning - Does anyone know the process to rename a branding theme in Catalog? According to the How do I customize a catalog or subcatalog using the Storefront Theme Editor? guide - we should be able to utilize the pencil to update the name of the theme. We are being told that this is not supported, but the guide says…
To the Canvas Lite Team, I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the maximum course participant limit in the new Canvas Lite, particularly the restriction that appears to allow only 50 users to join a single course. I am an Assistant Lecturer at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Tanzania, teaching Civil…

Hello, Back in the older version, I could see the "general answer" I wrote for an essay question when I was correcting a quiz. Today, I have to manually open the quiz and compare the answer my student gave and the "pre-answer" I wrote when creating a quiz. Is this feature completly gone or is there a way to see it ? I want…
I have completed a course and earned a badge but its not showing up in my backpack
I made a post last week regarding the missing features within the new Canvas Lite. I'm happy to see that deleting courses and adding profile pictures have been added. Now, a feature that was advertised with the Canvas Lite launch, Google Drive / OneDrive/Microsoft, is not available for assignment submissions or as an app…
As a Canvas and Catalog Admin, I have an instructor who never added module requirements to his course, and when the course concluded, the students' transcripts consequently show that the course is not complete. Is there a way to tell Catalog that those students successfully completed the course?
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
When creating test items in MasteryConnect, is there any way to change the font? The only options I currently see are to change the size and changing the style. Changing the size would be nice, because leaving it default is too small. However, changing it to anything else but the default is a crap shoot as to what the…
Hello! From our previous group's meeting, it was shared this community space can be for feature requests. But I wasn't sure if there was a specific sub-space for it. I'm wondering if this feature is already in development: when we create rules in the Visual Editor, we can really create only one. For example, if I want to…
