How do I change to grade book to only display one decimal place rather than two decimal places?
Hello @SabrinaBryant
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. By default, the gradebook will use two characters after the decimal point. The only way to really change this is to use the total override option and enter the simplified total points for the students. Here is the Canvas guide:

However, there have certainly been others who have asked for the same thing. It does appear to be in an open status and hopefully the option will be available in the near future. For now, you can use the default 2 point decimal display or use the total override column. Hopefully this helps.

This remains a problem. At the end of every quarter, I get at least 10 students emailing me about "I won't get into medical school if I have an A-, instead of an A. My grade is now 92.2%, could you just raise it to 93%? They do this for every possible decimal, even more than a whole number down. It's exasperating and leads to so much extra work because they won't take no for an answer. It's only a burden for this to be visible to them. Canvas should change their defaults. I've spoken to many colleagues who face the same problem.
Breakout Discussions would enable instructors to orchestrate multi-phase discussions that mirror effective classroom facilitation patterns. An instructor creates a master discussion topic, then segments participants into small breakout groups for focused conversation, and finally reconvenes everyone into a unified thread…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
