Hi. My name is Jade Champagne. Ms. Wells is allowing me to message through her portal. I am the CTE Instructional Coach for LPSD and we are experiencing a few issues and have additional questions. We have reached out to our contact for our District (several phone calls, emails, and messages through Canvas) and have not had…
Is there a way to have a student start a quiz, save it, and then come back to it later? I would like to be able to do this for students with accommodations, so they do not have to take the quiz all in one sitting. Is this possible? If so, how?

Hello, our campus has been slowly rolling out New Quizzes, so we've left the "New Quizzes" feature flag disabled but unlocked at root. There is one subaccount that would like to turn it on for their school, and we want to make sure we advise them about what enabling the feature does. I've looked through the Admin Guides…
In the past, a message popped up that I had unsaved edits, but this time that didn't happen when I closed a tab inadvertently (with Canvas still open). Is there a trick for recovering my edits? In this case, it is a dscussion I was editing.
Does Canvas LMS have any type of progress indicator to inform teachers or students of a student's progress as far as percentage of the course that has been completed? In my Canvas course all assignments are prepopulated for the semester.
Spell check is somehow disabled, how can I re-engage?
