I set an assignment, and my students have uploaded files as requested. I want to download these so I can add in-text comments (SpeedGrader is too clunky). On the left of the SppedGrader page is the text "Submitted Files: (Click to load.)", but when I click on what appears to be the link for the file, nothing happens. I…
Hello, as of 1/15/2026, I have not been able to copy any courses either by using the Copy This Course function in settings, or by importing course content. Please advise so that I do not need to rebuild courses. Thanks!
hello guys I'm new here i don't get it
Hello, I see that there have been changes to the mobile to-do list. Previously I would be presented with a list of everything with a due date within one week (Monday - Sunday). In December, (just before my final assignments were due btw :]) the to-do list changed to a different view which initially messed up all of my…
Hello! Everyone! My name is Teel. I don’t have a favorite name. Teel is fine! I am currently majoring in Sterile Processing. My career goal is to work in a hospital setting. I am originally from Houston, Texas. One of my personal hobbies that I enjoy doing is working out.
Hi Team, I am using the following Canvas API to fetch roles at both account and course levels: https://mylearnerjourney.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/1/roles?state[]=active&show_inherited=true&per_page=100 This API returns all default and custom roles at the account level, but for the course level, I only receive the…
What is this update about? This update enables more centralized control in Canvas Apps, streamlining app deployment and management- saving time and improving visibility into where apps are available. This update allows admin to have the ability to deploy an app with a shared deployment ID across the root account, enabling…
please i dont know because my university send this link and i dont understand
I want to build a page with a sortable table—allowing the students to click on a table header in order to sort the entire table by that column alphabetically/numerically. I've got some experience with HTML and have found some explainers on how to do this, but it doesn't seem to work. Does Canvas presently support sortable…
We all know the specific frustration of the "Syllabus Sprawl." You spend weeks designing a beautiful course page in the Rich Content Editor (RCE), but the moment you copy it to next semester’s shell, the formatting drifts. Links break. Styles revert. Worst of all, if you discover a typo in your policy section, you have to…

Hello! I use Discussion Posts as the primary way my students submit their work. This submission is usually either text entered into the text editor box, a video file, or a Word file to download. I would like to download the submissions from the Discussion Posts just like I am able to download Assignment submissions. How do…
Hi, My institution is starting to use Respondus LockDown Browser. My question concerns an exam using the 'New Quizzes' engine that requires the use of LockDown Browser. Assuming that the 'early exit' feature is enabled in the LockDown Browser settings, if a student exits the exam early, will Canvas allow them to re-enter…
Last week, I was able to access my past courses for my college. Now that my current classes are posted, I can't access the archived ones anymore. Any of them. There is no past courses button, and my browser is up to date. Some of the courses are from years ago and would make no sense to suddenly become private. Can anyone…

More control over grading and feedback is here! Rubric scores and comments can be released separately or together to give you full control over the timing of both feedback and grades. Try it out in Beta now or in Production. Why we built this Feedback is one of the most powerful tools for student learning, but timing…
On January 17, 2026, the Performance and Usability Upgrades for SpeedGrader will officially enter General Availability (GA). At that time, the feature option will default to ON for all institutions, while still allowing admins to opt out if they need more time to prepare. Full enforcement will follow in July 2026. These…
Hello! I'm trying to clone a course, but nothing seems to be working. I've been using Canvas for many years and this is the first time this has ever happened, so I'm hoping someone can help! Here is what I've tried: "Copy this course" (and I've tried both selecting items and copying the whole course) "Import course…
I sometimes need to search for a file on Canvas so I can rename it or move it to a specific folder. The 'search' facility' is useless because it doesn't tell me the location of the file -i.e. which folder it is in. Is there any way of getting this basic information - the Panda Bot AI assistant suggested clicking on the…
Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
A teacher at my school set up her coursework category to "Drop the lowest score" in both Canvas and PowerSchool (we use both). At the end of the semester, 13 of her 78 students had different percentages, with 8 of those being corner cases, resulting different letter grades. And all of those scores were higher in Canvas. I…
Currently, accessing free Lucid Educational Suite through Canvas (Free for Teacher) limits to the most recent 3 docs with unlimited objects. Any created after (whether accessing through Lucid or Canvas) make earlier created docs besides the most recent 3 "view only". If I upgrade my free educational Lucid plan to a paid…
Hello, Is anyone doing a grade sync from Canvas to Jenzabar? Thanks!
Our district which serves over 40,000 students has committed to using Mastery Connect for our District wide Interim Assessments. We would love for Mastery Connect to add a feature for teachers to use a clickable rubric to grade writing assessments. This would help to make our grading more efficient and accurate which will…
We have a training that people can take which is set as a canvas course. But before they take the training, we want them to have the prerequisite of taking a different course A in catalog. I don't want to set up a program because they may not want to take the training if they took course A and decided that training isn't…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
