Why does my table not keep the same format once my page is published?
Pictures are set up and then once page is published.
Hi @LMEcolleen ,
Canvas automatically adjusts its pages to be optimized for different viewing platforms (Chromebook vs large screen vs phone). It's a futile endeavor to try to make your page look a certain way based on the space you see on the screen.
Another consideration: Using tables for alignment does not meet accessibility standards. Tables are intended to display data and are not meant to be used for page design.

Hi @LMEcolleen,
Without seeing your exact HTML code, I am going to make a pretty educated guess that the issue is that of available screen space. Unlike making a word document (or similar) where there is a fixed paper size and everything will basically look the same no matter what computer you view the file on, web content is generally dynamic and changes based on the size of the screen. This generally ensures people with large monitors see a lot fo content (without much blank space) and conversely that people viewing on a small mobile device only see a small amount of content and don't have a ton of left/right and up/down scrolling, which can be very difficult to accomplish.
I can see the look you're going for, but I think getting that to work well across devices might be pretty difficult. If you put your menu icons above the calendar instead of trying to have them side by side, it might work a little bit better. I'm not sure how much you want to display "identically to everyone and how much you'd be willing to have display slightly differently to different users though.
If you can provide a bit more info on your wishes, someone may be able to offer up some possible solutions.

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…
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…
