Hi, an export of one of my courses was made and my course is not shared on the commons. Is there a way to find out who may have expored my course content? Thanks.
Hi @ebard,
While on your course export page, if you add "/api/v1/" to the URL right after your Canvas domain (so it would look like https://school.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/123456/content_exports ), you'll see some text output showing details of your course exports. One of the fields in this text is the numeric Canvas user_id of the person who did the export. Now, unless you're an admin, you may not be able to take that numeric user_id and figure out who it is, but there's one trick you can try. If you go to your course People list and add a / and then the numeric user_id you got from the last step to the end of the URL, you'll end up on a page with the user's info if they are enrolled in your course. If the user is an admin, you'll likely receive a page error or something similar. This may at least give you some idea of what happened though, and you could always ask your local Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) if they'd identify the person for you based on the Canvas user_id number.
Hope this helps!

I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
