Hi all:
Is there a way to batch move files from the default location to subfolders I create? At this time I only know how to move one at a time.
Thank you in advance.
Hi @keefern ...
Yes...it's very similar to moving files in folders on your computer. When you are in your Canvas course, click on the "Files" course navigation button. Then, go to the area of files you want to move. You can press Ctrl on your keyboard to select multiple individual files you want to move. Or, if you have a list of files that are all together one right after another, you can click on the first file, and then hold down the Shift key while clicking on the last file you want to select. The entire range of files from the first to the last one you clicked on will be selected (in light blue). At the top of the "Files" screen, you'll see an icon for "Move" that looks like a double arrow pointing up and down. Click on that icon, and a window will open asking where you want to move those files into a different folder.
This is probably better explained in this Guide:
How do I move and organize my files as an instructor?
I hope this will help a bit. Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!

We understand that according to this help documentation, short name maps to Canvas display name. This documentation and this Canvas community…
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. 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…
