I am an instructor looking to copy and paste announcements, but every time I do so it seams to replace my account with a "U". How do I change this so it shows I am the one posting?
Hello @MadeleineTrueba
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with copying announcements. Are you using your mouse to highlight all the text or even your keyboard to CTRL C or V to copy paste? Sometimes you can pick up extra HTML unknowingly depending on how your announcements are formatted or what all actually got highlighted. If you use your keyboard, try pasting it as CTRL SHFT V instead of just CTRL V (CMND V on Mac) and it will keep the formatting the same. This may help. Additionally, you can copy announcements from one course to another:

@MadeleineTrueba ...
According to this Guide, How do I use the Announcements Index Page?, "A profile picture displaying the letter U in place of a user's profile picture indicates that an announcement was imported using a course copy, the Course Import Tool, or a blueprint course. Additionally, copied announcements do not include a posted date and time." I found this by looking at a past reply from @kona ... Solved: Announcement question u - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com).
Have you tried editing the announcement, but not actually making any edits on it, and then saving the announcement to see if the "U" in the avatar image changes to your own profile picture?
Keep us posted here in the Community...thanks!
Hi everyone… Has anyone else run into issues with SAML authentication not working, but only on their beta instance? Our production and test sites are fine, but we manage a number of different Canvas instances and every one of them that uses SAML authentication (with either Okta or Microsoft Entra) has not worked for a…
Please let me know if this is better posted in a different forum. Still learning the ropes of the Community! I'd love to see the option of an itemized sync for Blueprint courses. Many of our faculty make course updates throughout the semester for the next semester's courses, but don't necessarily want those updates to…
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…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
Can the Batch Edit of Assignment be updated so you can filter by assignment catagory
