How to I turn off the welcome tour so it doesn't pop up every single time I log in to canvas?
@parent ...
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
I'm an Admin in Canvas, and I'd like to know if it's possible to change the order of items in the Account menu. Now, we have: -ePortfolio (Legacy) -Shared Items -Portfolio We'd like to have Portfolio above ePortfolio (Legacy), to encourage people to use that, but I can't find a way to do it.
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
Previously on the built-in rubrics, vertical view, the rubric items were collapsed. You could expand them to see details of each point value. Now they are expanded by default and I see no way to collapse them. When a teacher is grading 20 of the same assignment, he or she knows what each point value entails. By having them…
As "Ideas" section is gone (at least for now), I'm posting a feature request here. Mobile app shows a list of students who have submitted or not submitted a quiz/assignment. Would be good to have this in web version as well as way to export csv.
Could you please clarify about the URL structure for the new Canvas Portfolio feature after the retirement of the ePortfolios on June 30, 2026?
