I have a blueprint in which there are a large number of links (in Assignments) to a course page that no longer exists. The course links all direct to a page called "Support" but the links all point to "/support-2" (due to some important update occurring in the past). However, I don't want to go into 40 assignments and…

Hi, Let's say I send a Canvas announcement to a class. Will students whose enrollments have been individually concluded be able to view the announcement? If so, will they receive a notification? Thank you
In some of my classes, I give tests in person on paper and grade the stack of papers using a pen like a 20th century caveman. I then enter the scores into Canvas.

Also, the category list…
Hello, Has anyone else experienced the due dates in Canvas Course Assignments, Discussions, and/or Quizzes disappearing after students are enrolled in the course sections? If so, are there any settings in the course that may help prevent this from occurring? Thank you!
Hi Canvas Community, I’m wondering if Canvas could add a more granular permission setting for section management — specifically, a setting that would allow Canvas Administrators to grant Instructors the ability to de-cross-list their own courses (without having to give them full admin-level powers). In our K–12 school…
I have my grade book set up. But for some reason , why I go to the total points column, I do not see the total number of points
When assignments are assigned to individual students or even a small group of students out of the whole class, Canvas will not sync the assignment to PowerSchool until everyone has been assigned the item. Could this possibly be changed so that the individual assignments will sync to PowerSchool even when not everyone has…
