How do you add a signature line in the Canvas email
Hi everyone! Yesterday I stumbled upon a fairly new blog post from someone at Instructure, and I think you'll be pleased to see that signature files in the Canvas Inbox are coming. Here's a link with the info...and more things, too!
New Features, Big Impact: Enhancing Common Workflows in Canvas LMS
@pricejl ,
Currently, this feature is not available in Canvas although it has been asked for a few times in the past, this feature has not gained any traction in the Community. You can see the Feature Requests here:

I need this also. I cannot imagine that it can be so difficult for a good programmer to fix this. Is canvas trying to become as bad as blackboard at product support?
Wow! Seeing how this has been an ongoing discussion for two years, I expected to see no interest... since the feature still has not been added. Seems like it would be a simple thing to do. For the record, I am interested in having the ability to add a signature line when communicating via Canvas. Thank you.
This would be a really nice added feature. I agree.
Please add the faculty capability to set and insert the faculty member's institution signature element in Canvas mail. The faculty's institution standard signature element would elevate the scholarly quality of correspondence and set a necessary scholarly example for students for their correspondence. The preset signature would significantly streamline providing scholarly format replies to student Canvas mail. Thank you.

I don’t think anyone is reading this? I don’t think many in the Canvas community take the time to read these forums. It’s a shame this has been a subject for over 2 years and nothing has happened. Is it too difficult to implement? Why can’t it be an option like it is on our emails? I read one note that said not enough people are interested. ???? How can that be. ??? How would they know? Not everyone follows up here. I think the few who have spoken up about it brought enough valid reasons why a signature would be helpful. Perhaps our requests are falling on deaf ears? If so, then this forum is a waste of time!
Now that we are doing so much of our communication through the Canvas Inbox feature, this option should pick up some traction. I'm getting tired of typing my name...
I am desperate for an email signature feature in the Canvas Inbox, as well as more functionality within that feature period. It would make my life so much easier
Since Canvas prides itself in personalizing information for students, it is missing an opportunity for instructors to be able to personalize a signature for ourselves. We often have multiple titles, degrees, contact information, and office hours. It is unworkable to NOT have a customized signature feature for instructors.
Hello everyone. I thought I'd provide a couple links that are part of the new Ideas and Themes process which are relevant to this topic:
I would suggest following these topics so that you can participate in the conversations and voting windows if/when those open in the future. Check out the section on "Ideas and Themes" on this page for more info:
While typing an Announcement, sometimes midway, we need to check something for which we click on Grades or Assignments. Then when we return to Announcements, what we types simply disappears. It will be very helpful to have a DRAFT option under Announcements so that the unfinished message is not lost.
I have used Blackboard, Moodle, and now work at a Canvas university. When grading quiz items. I want the ability to view all of the students' responses to a single item at once. This could allow consistency in grading and speed up the grading process. This functionality has been available in Moodle for over 10 years.
I'm an instructional designer working with a faculty member who wants all of the students in the class to work in groups to complete a feedback form together, with contributions from each group member. The way the Canvas Collaborations instructions are written, I don't understand how to make this happen. Do we set up a…
Has anyone ever encountered this error in the Admin Analytics Student section?
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
