Student moved from one Tag to another but can see both Canvas Pages
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…

Course-Level Opt-Out Needed
Why is there the setting "Lock this setting for sub-accounts and courses" if this can't be opted out at the course level? There should be an opt-out at the course level and we should also be able to have tags available and disabled by default. This is something that courses should be able to opt-into, not forced to opt-out…

Inaccurate student count when managing tags
Hi everyone, I was doing some testing in our Canvas test environment around the Differentiation Tag feature and noticed something odd with the student count when filtering and tagging. In one course that had 49 students, I filtered all students and selected them using the checkbox in the top left corner. It showed 123…

Max tag per set and per course
The hard limit of 10 per set and 40 per course limits the utility of Differentiation Tags in larger courses. Use cases such as tutorials with assessment sub-groups; courses with large numbers of markers (e.g. dissertation courses). Why is the number set to 10/40. And can it be either unlimited, or increased five or six…

Suggestions for the Create Tag modal (current UI is confusing)
Hi @SamGarza1 . I am really excited about the potential of differentiation tags. But from the beginning, something bothered me about the Create Tag modal--as I mentioned in this post, the process of creating a tag set is confusing. Why do I have to create at least 2 single tags on the Create screen in order to see the…

Account Level Tags
We would like to assign differentiation tags to students and then extract the data via the API to coordinate student supports. To do this, we would like to provide all instructors with a consistent set of tags that they can use. Is it possible to create tags at the account level and share them with all courses?

Differentiation Tag Template
The Import Tags UI under Manage Tags refers to a downloadable "Differentiation Tag Template", but as far as I can tell, such a template doesn't exist. There is a link to documentation that includes sample comma delimited data, but most faculty won't have a clue of what to do with it, particularly since it includes columns…

Random distribution of students within a tag set
I would like to randomly tag students within a tag set similar to how we can randomly assign students to groups. I currently use groups to break up my large classes so that our discussions are more manageable for students. They've shared with me that they prefer a discussion with 20 other participants instead of one with…
