We have an issue where a student registers for a driver's ed course using their parent's email address. This gets entered into Banner as preferred. Then the student registers as a dual-credit high school student, adding a different preferred email. Both are being provisioned into Canvas at their respective times via ILP…
Use case: I have made a classic quiz for use in Course Name. I want to make a duplicate of that quiz, for use in the same course, that I can then modify for students who require modifications. Can this be done? Just to head this off: Yes, I know how to use the test banks. That is not what I am asking. I am asking if I can…

In another post, it was claimed that this issue was solved, but it is not. Another user replied with the same problem I am having and no new comments or solutions were offered, so I'm posting this as a new issue. It specifically says, "The Missing Submission policy will not be automatically applied to No Submission, On…
One of our teachers is attempting to copy an assignment from the Master course to a section. Once the assignment is copied, she then is modifying the Google Assignments that are attached. When the students are opening the assignment, it is still showing the old links, not the new. Anyone else having this issue?
