I understand how to change notifications settings, as an instructor teaching three courses (over 100 students), I don't want to get an email every time a student completes an assignment. Which setting do shut off?
Just go into your Account and then Notifications. Then turn off "All Submissions."
As an instructor, I have turned off almost all notifications completely. I only get notifications for "Conversations" and "Announcements." Those I get immediately. For all the others, I don't even bother with daily or weekly summaries. Anything I need to grade will pop up in my "To Do List."

The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
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…
