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!
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello Everybody!!! I'm new here! :) How do you create a meeting with your class group in Canvas? When I attempt to compose a message, I select the course and then choose “Student Group,” but the only option that appears is a “Back” button with an arrow. No student names or group members appear for me to contact.
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
