Why doesn't Canvas Attendance have an "excused" option in taking attendance. We often have to track excused and unexcused absences, yet there's no real way to do that.
Hi @DennisShea -
You're right. I think many instructors would appreciate this option. This has been included in the long-standing Attendance Overhaul thread. (It's the only Idea Conversation focusing on an entire feature vs. a single functionality/change). I hope you can join the discussion and share your use case.

The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
