Hello, dear all! 😊 I wonder if you could help me with a situation I'm having with one of my courses: suddenly, groups of questions disappear from the Question Bank, which makes it impossible for students to access the test. When students try to access the test that's been affected, they see an error message, "There is a…
Is there a way to make an assignment visible but not submittable? I have an instructor that wants to make his assignments visible for a period of time so students can look at the assignment directions but not submit the assignment until a later date. The instructor would like a visible date, a submit date, and a due date…
Is there a way via interface or api to pull a list of suspended users?
Hi everyone… Has anyone else run into issues with SAML authentication not working, but only on their beta instance? Our production and test sites are fine, but we manage a number of different Canvas instances and every one of them that uses SAML authentication (with either Okta or Microsoft Entra) has not worked for a…
Our school uses Powerschool SIS. Recently, grades for some students aren't syncing over to Powerschool, but Canvas is saying the sync was successful. My grading categories match, the Sync to Powerschool box is checked, and due dates are entered and accurate. In a given assignment, some of the student's grades are syncing…

I have 9 years of Canvas courses listed and every time I have to import or share or add a rubric, etc., I have to scroll through more than 35 different (yet similarly named) courses. Can there be a way to have a Current Year only? Or published only section? Like, have another tab under, similar to when importing shared…
I have been getting this message on my iPad canvas app for a few months whenever I try to open a file. It seems like I’m the only one in my class as everyone is getting on fine. Files used to open fine on my phone and now my phone canvas app has stopped working. What does this mean? How can I get rid of it.
In Canvas, when I create a new rubric and draft a new Criterion I see the default Rating Names 'Exceed, Mastery, Near, Below, No Evidence' with ranges from 100-75.1, 75-50.1, 50-25.1, 25-0.1 and 0 (assuming the Points possible is changed to 100) (see screenshot below). My institution uses the grading scheme HD, D, C, P, F…
I assign a Weekly Topic Assignment each week of my online class. In the past these have all been short written responses to a prompt or two, but this term I would like for some of these Topic Assignments to be more "quiz-like." Is there a way to have different assignment types within one Assignment Group? Together I want…
