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.

That dot indicates unread content in your course.

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
