Hi All. I have been retroactively assigning captions to my images in Canvas and I noticed something strange. I have been adding the image captions within Canvas pages by clicking on “image options” and entering the information, saving the page. However, when looking at the “Files” view of the site, the captions are not…
I'm currently trying to do a quiz on Canvas but it says the service is unavailable due to maintenance. How long will the site be down?
I recently created a quiz where students give each other feedback on a game they have created. I set the quiz up as a stimulus question (with a link to the game as the stimulus) and then 6 questions for the students to answer based on the stimulus. I saved questions to the bank and used them in each of the stimuli.…
How do I search all my rubrics without going to individual classes

I have a Canvas shell that's a decade old and am wondering which of the files are actually still being used, and where. Is there any way to go to the Files page and find out this information (such as: a list of pages where the file is referenced)?
I recently opened a New Quiz that students already took and started deleting questions to edit, but I realized I was deleting questions in the wrong quiz. Is there anyway to store those individual questions? I tried the "undelete" website option but it did not show anything for the individual questions that I deleted.
