the account tab on the left does not yet have the profile tab activated, so do I wait for the activation or is there any other way that i could access the profile section, thanks
Hi @nityasomu,
The "Profile" feature is something a Customer Success Manager has to enable for a school/institution. If you're an administrator for your instance, I'd recommend reaching out to your CSM to request the feature be enabled. If you're a student or teacher, you'll probably want to reach out to your local Canvas team (usually in the IT / eLearning / Digital Education areas) to find out if they'd be willing to have profiles enabled or not. It's possible that profiles were disabled for a specific reason, but we here in the community wouldn't know that.
Hope this helps a bit. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Is having students read the textbook considered an assignment or an activity if there is no grade but a required date?

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…
