When I upload documents (word, pdf, screenshots, etc.) to my Canvas shell, students are unable to access/download them because they get an error response that says the folder (uploaded media) is locked. How do I fix this?
@MeganDear ...
Could you please describe your process for uploading a document to your Canvas course and then also the process of making that document available to your students? Thanks!
Example of student view:
"The folder "Uploaded Media," which includes this file, has been locked."
Solution:
Find the "uploaded media" folder inside your course files folder where the document(s) reside. That folder inside the files folder needs to be checked to be recognized by the system as "published." There is an icon to the far right to click and depicts a green check mark replacing a no symbol. In some use cases, the uploaded files folder may be inside of another uploaded files folder.

If I set…

For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
