I want to embed a PDF into a page where the page displays the page, not the link I uploaded from a computer. How do I do that?
Hi @ErickaEppler ...
This should be pretty easy to do. On the page in question, edit the page, and then click on the link. A little pop-up should appear with two choices: "Link Options" and "Remove Link".

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…
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…
