"Do not allow instructure to alert you when you delete a question" - I was getting this alert multiple times in editing a quiz and I checked the box to not let it alert me. Now I cannot even delete a question from the set in the Quizzes. How can I reverse the process? Thank you.
I have a "Daily" which students are to do every.single.day and so there is a grade associated with it. Thus, I enter an assignment for each day so that I can record the grade. However, one student is rather unnerved by all the assignment announcements coming in email. Is there a way that I can suppress those notifications,…

I am experimenting with using Canvas for Teachers iOS app for grading on my iPad. I teach writing and, in the past, have used various PDF apps which allow me to leave comments, stickers, highlight, underline, and circle words.

Hello, I'm sorry if this in an obvious question but I'm trying to find an answer and struggling: One of our members of staff has created a course and published it.

Hi all! I've created a theme in a sub-account. I cannot find a way to enable this theme in the main account as the theme does not appear (either as a template tab or in the +Theme option). Is my only course of action now to copy every single field manually and reupload all images to a new theme in the main account? Thank…
Once again, the simplest of tasks wastes time. I have a 2-column table in the homepage of a Canvas course. I want to add a row below, but this produces an additional row with the leftmost cell divided into two rows. I cannot access the bottom of these two rows. I cannot merge them. Any ideas? Or would it be quicker just to…
