How do I turn OFF predictive text when I am writing anywhere within Canvas (including right now as I am composing this message)? I just want to permanently turn off the setting, as I find it incredibly distracting. Thank you!
Hello there, @NoraIsacoff ...
On my Windows 11 laptop, I use the Microsoft Edge browser, and I have predictive text turned on. I find it incredibly helpful because I can start to type a word (even here in the Community), and if it predicts the word(s) I want to use, I can just hit the "Tab" key on my keyboard, and it will fill in the word(s) for me. Otherwise, if I don't want to use those words, I can continue typing whatever words I want.
I understand that you might not want to use this feature, though. If you are using the Edge browser, you can turn this off by doing the following:
There may be similar settings in other web browsers, but hopefully this will give you an idea of what to look for if you're not using Edge.
Good luck!
Hi @NoraIsacoff,
I don't currently have any predictive text here in the community or on Canvas itself. I'm using the Edge web browser on MacOS. I think what you're seeing is probably coming from your specific browser or device, not something Canvas itself is doing. I know mobile devices rely heavily on predictive text for a better user experience, so I do wonder if you're using a phone or tablet? Can you give us any more info about your device/browser so we may be able to give you some guidance on shutting off predictive text?

ETA: never mind! I had done my "testing" in the wrong quiz, which was a Classic Quiz quiz. I just tried again in the correct (migrated) new quiz, and I see now that the "file upload" question type DOES show the image in SG! — I rarely use Canvas quizzes, but am teaching a new asynch class this semester. I want students to…
