I have a problem regarding downloading files in modules:the student is able to download the files locally but I don't want the student to be able to do that.How can I deny access to the download?

Hi there, @GiuliaPatetta ...
Yesterday I saw a similar question posted, and @chriscas provided a response:
How to upload a PDF in CANVAS without download rig... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
This was Chris' response:
I'm not aware of a way to do this built into Canvas (or most other online systems to be honest). The way the web works in general if that if you're giving view rights, you're almost always giving download rights (as the web browser downloads things in the background to make them viewable). There are some scenarios where this is not the case, usually around video files, though sometimes PDF or other content as well, but there is nothing like that as far as I'm aware in Canvas. I apologize, as this probably is not the answer you were hoping to get, but I hope it helps you to at least have this answer for now.

It will be very helpful to have a DRAFT option under Announcements so that the unfinished message is not lost.
I have used Blackboard, Moodle, and now work at a Canvas university. When grading quiz items. I want the ability to view all of the students' responses to a single item at once. This could allow consistency in grading and speed up the grading process. This functionality has been available in Moodle for over 10 years.
I'm an instructional designer working with a faculty member who wants all of the students in the class to work in groups to complete a feedback form together, with contributions from each group member. The way the Canvas Collaborations instructions are written, I don't understand how to make this happen. Do we set up a…
Has anyone ever encountered this error in the Admin Analytics Student section?
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
