We had a student whose file quota was massively over limit. Turns out, this long time student had downloaded zip files of all assignment submissions several times over the years using the feature in Account/Settings. Unknown to the student, and not mentioned in the Canvas documentation How do I download assignment…
How do I display test results as a letter grade in Canvas?
I am trying to set up a mastery pathway option for students in my course. It's self select, so there is a "quiz" where they pick which option they want to complete. Option A is worth 2 points, Option B is worth 1 point. I have the mastery path set to send the 100%-ers (anyone who chose Option A) to Pathway A and the…
I want to recieve an email about 'release notes' (Ideally prior to them rolling out). I know they are available within Canvas via the 'help' feature, but I want an email notification. I am already subscribed to the 'product blog' but I really want something that is just the official release notes by themselves. Does…
How do I uncross list my class when the "De-cross List" button is not available? Thank you!

I typed my quizzes into a master course and each semester I copy it into the semester class. When I copied the master quizzes into the new course 5 copied and three did not. They show that they are there but when I open them up they are blank. I have copied them three (3) times.
Can you set a quiz in Classic Quizzes to have a fixed point value? For example, I want my quizzes to be worth 100 points, and then I want Canvas to automatically distribute those points evenly between whatever the number of questions is in the quiz. Is that possible?
When using the import course feature, it does not import the dates assignments are due, nor does it import the sections the assignments are assigned to. When i previously created courses from the template course all the information was imported.
In the Files Redesign page, it is showing incorrect information for Blueprinted courses. I have a situation where a course was copied into and then associated as a blueprint all from the same course course. This duplicates items. All I have to do is remove items with the blueprint symbol to get rid of duplicates and then…
