Hello, I have a question. How can I delete a message that I sent to my professor as a reply to his message on my assignment? Additionally, is there a guide available for the various icons on Canvas? I have noticed a blue dot next to some of my assignments, but I am unsure of its meaning. It would be helpful if I could access a guide that explains all of the icons. Thank you.
Hi @cwgceo
I don't think it's possible to delete a message. Perhaps other folks here might know a way. Even if you did, your instructor may have been sent a notification about your message with the content included, so if you delete it in Canvas they may see it anyway. It might best to contact your instructor about any issues.

I have previously been able to type systems of equations that displayed properly with the left bracket. My notes say that I typed: \( {2x - y = 5 \brace 6x + 5y = 8} \) But when I put that in, I get this in the question: LaTex: \( {2x - y = 5 \brace 6x + 5y = 8} \) I've also tried entering this in the html view and get the…
We are looking to take better advantage of the portfolio offerings. Currently, it doesn't appear that evaluation portfolios are ready for multi-semester updating at the higher ed level. But with showcase portfolios, how are other instructors keeping track that students have completed the requirements? Just through visiting…
It would appear that there is a new interface for speedgrader and the rubric is now defaulted on, rather than having the tab with the option to use the rubric. I do not use the rubric unless I am deducting points. That means that I do not need rubrics very often. It looks like I can opt for "show old speedgrader UI" and…
Hello, I have some general, technical questions about Canvas quiz and activity logs and their interpretation. I am trying to better understand how these logs work from a technical perspective and what they are designed to capture. I am not asking about any specific case. Specifically, I am hoping to clarify: What types of…
