Hello @SamHuang,

Good afternoon! I hope your day is going well so far. I've investigated your other query about pairing codes, and it appears that this has already been addressed. However, concerning the issue at hand, there could be several factors contributing to it.

Here are some additional troubleshooting methods you can try to resolve this:

Update Your Browser: Keeping your browser up to date can often resolve issues with Canvas. Refer to this guide for a list of supported browsers: Supported Browsers for Canvas.
Clear Browser History: Clearing your browser history can help with accessing problematic web pages. These guides explain how to clear the cache on both PC and MAC:
- MAC: Clearing Cache on MAC
- PC: Clearing Cache on PC
  Ensure that you set the time range to "All Time" or "Beginning of Time" before clearing your cache and cookies.
Incognito Window: Opening Chrome in an Incognito Window disables Chrome Extensions/Plugins, helping identify if the issue is browser-related. Here's how to access an Incognito Window: Accessing Incognito Window.
Try a Different Device: If possible, use another PC or Mac to access the Canvas page and see if the issue persists. If it doesn't occur on the other device, it may suggest a problem with your computer settings.
Check Your Internet Connection: If you're using a wireless connection, try connecting via cable if available. A stable internet connection is crucial for accessing Canvas.

Following these steps should help address the issue. If it doesn't completely resolve your problem, I recommend reaching out to your son's school. They can contact our Canvas Support Team if further assistance is required.

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added.

Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
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…
