I was updating some of my canvas pages by copying and pasting from from a MS Word document I had been working on. All of a sudden, Canvas would not allow me to paste. Can you help me correct this?
Hi @jcrooks ...
Copying and pasting from MS Word documents into Canvas can sometimes cause a lot of headaches...particularly because Word can carry over a bunch of what I like to call "rogue" HTML code. What you might see in Word may not look exactly like you would hope once the page is saved in Canvas. So, I am just giving you a word of caution when doing this. Thankfully, there are online Word to HTML cleaners that will help you in this process:
When copying and pasting content, I always use the keyboard shortcuts:
These should work for you...even if you are copying content from Word into Canvas. Is this what you are doing?

Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been.

Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
