We are working on an LTI integration where we use the context_id to route the student to the correct course. But we need to know it before the students launch their LTI links -- is there a way to see the context_id from the course page?
Hi, @nathan3 , we see you've posted essentially this same question to Q&A—so you probably don't realize that it's not necessary to post a question to multiple places. Instead, you can use the Share link at the upper right of the page to share the question to any other group of which you're a member. We've already shared https://community.canvaslms.com/thread/35934-how-to-view-the-contextid-for-a-course on your behalf, and invite our members to post their responses there. We will lock this question to prevent parallel response threads from developing.

The API returns 204 No Content (success), but the column order does not persist after page refresh. Steps to Reproduce: Open Learning Mastery Gradebook for…
I'm building a tool for my institution that imports grades from another LTI tool into Canvas so instructors can automate late assignment policies not otherwise supported by Canvas. I'm trying to use the LTIv1.3 ID which is readily available on the LTI-side as a link to the student record on Canvas, but I can't find the ID…
