Hi, Thank you for clicking on my question.
I'm teaching teaching students by attaching various files to the canvas.
Could you tell me how long the file that I and my students uploaded to canvas is stored?
Hi @uja2223,
To piggyback on what @Chris_Hofer said, I don't think there is anything built in to Canvas itself that would make an uploaded file go away. I'm not sure if you're using the "free for teacher" Canvas, or one provided by your school/institution, so I'll also add one caveat to the statement above. Many schools are creating retention policies for Canvas courses. The institution I work for not has a 7 year retention policy, meaning courses that were offered 7 years ago will be deleted from Canvas. Something like that *may* apply to you, but you'd need to check with your local Canvas team (usually in the IT / eLearning / Digital Education departments)

Hi @uja2223 ...
If you are the instructor of a Canvas course and you are attaching files to content pages within your course, those files remain in the course for your students ... unless, for some reason, you were to remove the file(s) from the page.
Or, are you asking about files submitted by students as part of assignment submissions? Any files submitted by students for assignments are stored in their user files are of the course, and they are not counted towards their user file quota (which is around 50 MB). Those files cannot be deleted from their user files.
I'm not sure if I am completely answering your question or not. Please help to clarify if I haven't addressed your question...thanks!
Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
