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
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
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…
Started testing the new Portfolio today. Our K-12 district is new to Canvas and never implemented a portfolio solution. I was testing the share as a studnet using the 'Anyone can view link' to an outside user = does not have a login ID for our instance of Canvas. As the outside user, I am able to open and read the…
