How to I turn off the welcome tour so it doesn't pop up every single time I log in to canvas?

Hello there! I believe that you can contact your school's local Canvas administrator or someone at your school's Online Learning/eLearning department, and they can turn it off for your entire school. They may have had a reason they wanted to turn it on for everyone, but that would be a conversation you'd want to have with people at your school.
I hope this will help a bit...thanks! Take care, stay safe, and be well.
That isn't really a solution for an individual by shutting it off to all. Is there a specific thing I can do for my personal settings. It is a pain to have to click through or click the screen down every time I log on.
There is a value that is saved to the browser's local storage once you have completed the tutorial (in case you care, it's canvas-tourpoints-shown-student:"true")I have setup my firefox to delete all cookies and saved data whenever I close the browser - so this value is also deleted.
When your canvas page loads, if this value is missing then it will show you the tutorial.
I wish the browsers would give finer-grain control over what gets deleted, but they don't. The only thing I can do is add an exception so cookies and saved data won't get deleted for the canvas site.
So, if you're getting the welcome tutorial every time you load Canvas, make sure you're browser isn't deleting the cookies and saved data for the site.
It would be nice if Canvas gave you a setting to disable it, since it will still appear when using a different computer to access the site - which, if you're in a school or university setting then I have to imagine using a different computer is the norm. This must get pretty annoying for students.
I wish there were a way to turn it off for your account only, but maybe in a future update, they can make a setting that does that
Hello, we are new to Canvas this school year and have encountered a roadblock. I’m curious whether any other K–12 schools here are experiencing the same issue or have found a solution. We have several high school teachers who use total points with weight and adjust their weights midyear. Our courses are set up as a single…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
