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?

Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
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…
