Can someone tell me how to use italics, bolding, underlining or create a live URL in Canvas email?
Hi @PaulEllison ,
I don't use the Inbox much, but based on responses I've seen here, I think the answer is that the Canvas Inbox is not set up for that type of formatting. It is not a true email service but rather is a simplified communications service.
Perhaps you could achieve your goal by attaching a file containing the formatting and links you would like to use:
How do I attach a file to a message as an Instructor?
How do I attach a file to a message as a student?
Hello @PaulEllison ...
Totally agree with everything that @TrishaMeyer1 has stated. I'll just add that there's an existing Idea here in the Community that has lots of feedback and support for adding the RCE (Rich Content Editor) to the Canvas Inbox:
[Inbox] Add rich-content editor to Conversations - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
This particular Idea is part of a larger Theme called:
Improve the inbox functionality to provide for mor... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
I'd encourage you to follow both of these so that when/if this opens for voting, you'll be able to participate in that process and have those conversations.
Hope this helps in some way!

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
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…
