Is there a way to import a single item from a course in the commons?? For example, I want to import one quiz from a course that has 97 billion other items in it. There must be a way!

Unfortunately, Commons does not let you pull out a specific item from an entire course that has been shared to Canvas Commons. In your example, you would not be able to import a quiz from the entire course that was shared to Commons. The owner of that course would have to share the quiz separately to Commons, and then you could import it into your own course.
Sorry I don't have better news for you, but I hope this helps to answer your question.
@wilsonj81 A solution that we've used is to pull the course into a "Sandbox" course and "copy to" the real course. We often do this for any Commons course, as normal process, so that we can preview in our environment especially if there is units of measurement (e.g. Imperial vs Metric) and want to check fro consistency.
This has been useful when we've wanted particular pages and/or quizzes but not the whole assignment/discussions etc.
This does require having a SandBox.
My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
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…
