How to add student ID to Catalog certificate

We would like to be able to include a student's unique Canvas ID on their certificate (or another kind of unique ID) to mitigate risk around fraudulent certificates.

Does anyone know if this is possible and, if so, how to go about doing this?

Thanks.

Reporting is needed to identify these learners who have commenced an order but have failed to enrol. We…
Easier way to gift a course
I do see that one can gift a course using bulk enrollments, but it would help if this were more user-friendly. It is unclear to users what a "bulk enrollment" means and how to use it as a gift. Can there be a simple "Gift This Course" label and feature, along with a short video tutorial on how to use the Gift This Course…
Requirements for Nudging

Created a listing for it with 14 days to completes and then enrolled with my gmail address. Had our director of ID do the same. Created a nudge…
