We're experiencing SAML failure after the changes made to redirect to Instructure's own login portal. We use Auth0 for our IDP, and the following SAML request from Canvas to our IDP is not being completed. I'm unable to see the changes made to the underlying infrastructure that handles user authentication for Canvas, and…
everytime i try to copy a quiz this happen
I've not been able to copy a course without getting a "failure" notice and told to reach out to support. I submitted a ticket, but have not heard back from anyone to assist.

Also when I student leaves class early, I would like to be able to note that as well. Thanks.
I wanted to get a sense of how others are feeling about the change to the Beta refresh schedule moving from weekly to every 21 days. I’ll be honest, this feels like a pretty short-sighted shift. The weekly refresh is what makes Beta useful for us. It gives us a recent snapshot of production data that we can rely on for…

Hello! Hopefully this is the right place to post this, but we wanted to submit a feature request: could there be a way to identify if an assignment has been designated to a project group without having to open each individual assignment to check?

When I add a link to a document using any major editor (Word, HTML editors, etc.), it is customary that the cursor lands in the box where the URL goes. This is handy as I can then use my keyboard to paste a link into that field (Ctrl-V or Command-V). Not with Canvas. When I select text and invoke the Insert Link dialog…

Ethics Refresher Course- Where is the completion certificate?
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.

Sometimes we have assignments that don't count toward the final grade. While "ungraded" quizzes don't populate in the gradebook, these assignments do - they show up in the gradebook for instructors and for students. This can be confusing. Additionally, I can't seem to find a way to turn on a "points total" in the final…
