I am currently teaching a high school Spanish course, and many of my assignments use the fill-in-the-blank question type in new quizzes. The problem that I'm encountering is when a question requires a special character, such as an accented vowel (examples include: á Ó or ü) or the special letter ñ (which is a different…
Why, when the "Hide results from students" toggle is on in Canvas Quiz settings, can students still see the number of correct multiple-choice and set answer questions immediately after submitting? We are taking exams and students and writing portions/questions that need grading and students are seeing that score like its…
Greetings, Our institution has recently acquired Canvas LMS and I had a question related to the third-party tool Respondus Lockdown Browser. When the tool is installed at the institution level, the tool requires one of the placements to be in the course menu. Is there a way to restrict from this tool being automatically…
Hey Canvas Community, Quick question about restricted words in the Gradebook export/import. When I export the Gradebook CSV, make edits, and re-import, it seems like some terms are not allowed (example: “Final”). • Does anyone know the full list of restricted/reserved words for Gradebook CSV import? • And if there’s an…
One of our faculty accidentally deleted an assignment. I restored it by using the "undelete" option, but grades that had been manually assigned have disappeared. Is there a way to restore those grades?
I am in the process of updating an adjunct training course that I have used and maintained for several years.

As a…
Students will be taking quizzes asynchronously over a week. I want them to be able to review the questions and their responses for a limited time after they take each quiz. I can do that for the responses, either using show/hide dates or checking "only once." However, I don't see any way to restrict their access to the…
I've searched the community and guide and see results for New Quizzes when using preview. I saved the preview version of an exam in Classic because a student was having technical problems, and we couldn't find another way for him to take the test quickly. But I cannot find the results anywhere, even though I submitted the…
Would anyone have CSS code that limits an instructor's ability to change the course code field on the Settings page? If the course code field can be hidden that would also work for our needs. We need to allow instructors the ability to change the course name, but not the course code. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I know there's a guide* on how to make Time Adjustments through the Moderate tab. We really should be able to do that through the People screen as well. Only going the the Moderate tab is counter-intuitive as well as a bunch of unnecessary extra clicking. And what if I want to go ahead and enter accommodations before I…
