Any (possibly preliminary score) entered in the "Score" box when grading a written submission causes the page to automatically submit that score to the grade book if the instructor clicks anywhere else on the same page, without even moving to another student's work, regardless of whether they have pressed "Submit" or…
Is it possible for Canvas to act as the school's management system. Teachers and Administration being able to post notices to the whole school or to a specific year level? Also, to be able to do roll marking on Canvas instead on other programs within the school network, making it a single point of truth program? If this is…
Looking for help on this topic which I've already brought to Canvas now three times and have had no resolution.

To do this, I have the…
In Canvas, I would like to move the order of announcements up or down depending on the importance of the topic, but I don’t see an option to do this. Can you help me?

The points for the assignment are only 5. I can see how to edit/save points for the assignment and I tried…
If a student has a tab open for an assignment or quiz, and I then unpublish that assignment, quiz, or entire module, the student is still able to access their assignment or quiz and even submit it. I do not want students to be able to access anything once I unpublish a module. The whole point is for them to only be able to…
I know that there is a little blue bubble that identifies someone has shared content with me, but how do I set my notifications so that I get an email alerting me to it?
I just need the play button. Can this be done? I uploaded an mp3. Then added it to a page. But it's displaying in a box like there's a video, but it's only an mp3 audio file. It looks bad on the page. People will expect it to play a video even though it's only an mp3.
