Are classes converted for instructors or instructors mus convert them one by one?

Hi there, @BorivojeDjokic ...
I think we need some more information from you. Are you an instructor at your school? Are you a Canvas administrator? It almost sounds like your school may be new to Canvas, but I could be wrong. If your school is new to Canvas, your Canvas administrator or your Online Learning team would typically have a plan in place (or they should, anyway) to convert classes from their previous platform to Canvas. This may involve conversations with folks from Instructure (Canvas) to see what course migration options are available. There are also a handful of Guides available here in the Community that can assist with migration of course content:
Again, I think it would help for you to provide some additional information about your question so that we can provide more specifics.
Looking forward to hearing back from you soon!
Could you provide a little more context to what you mean by "converted"? Do you mean from a different system that you previously used before Canvas?
I'm going to take a whack at answering your question under the assumption that you are converting content from a previous LMS system/course system to Canvas. If that assumption is incorrect than just ignore 😁

In some cases instructors are expected to convert content themselves, in other cases your administration may have made arrangements to convert the content for you.

When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
