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.

Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point."
