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! 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.

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…
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!
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…
Canvas deploys contain code changes that are intended to fix bugs, improve performance, and prepare for new features. These deploys take place every two weeks and can be tested in the beta environment before the production deploy date indicated in the title of this document. [info callout] Unless otherwise stated, all…
Hello, my browser used to always begin in 'card view', which was preferable for me. It has recently began starting in 'list view', and I have to manually switch to card view every time I log in. I've looked around in settings but there doesn't seem to be any options for me set my default view. Is there any way to set card…
Release notes outline upcoming customer-impacting changes that are expected to display in beta and/or production environments. Please note that features considered for future development are not included in the notes. [info callout] Unless otherwise stated, all features in this release are available in the Beta environment…
first off, i was directed to Canvas Ideas to share feedback but there is no way to post there. (ironically, my criticisms are about how awful unhelpful the Canvas interface is). on to my feedback: every platform (including this one) has a notification bell at the top right where you can see relevant updates, but NOT the…
I am exploring Rubrics on quizzes and assignments and how they feed into Outcomes. I have built a rubric based on my Outcomes, but can not find a way to see student data based on how they scored on the rubric. I can see the overall Outcomes in the Learning Mastery Gradebook, but can't find a way to look at one assignment…
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…
Issue Description I am experiencing a critical gap in tracking excused absences for students with legitimate health reasons (e.g., fever, cough, mental health needs). Current Canvas roll call options only allow Present, Late, or Absent, with no way to flag excused absences without manual tracking. This causes: * Data loss:…
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…
Dear Canvas Support Team, I would like to report a critical issue related to copying or importing course content in Canvas. When attempting to copy any course content using “Copy to” or by importing content into another course, including but not limited to: Quizzes Assignments Modules Any other course-supported content the…
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!
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…
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…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
Is there anything in the works for an admin 'master' Calendar to be used inside of Catalog similar to what's used inside of the LMS? Consisting of things such as enrollment count, course dates/times, description, cost, etc.?? In our thinking it would be a tool specifically for admins in catalog.
