After "unpublishing" courses in my dashboard, the courses show as "published" again the next time I log into Canvas. How is it that they publishing without my permission?
Hi @wilkersond1,
There is nothing in Canvas itself that should auto-publish a course.
With that being said, there are many schools/institutions (mine is one of them) that have created auto-publishing scripts that run on a schedule and publish courses based on set policies and schedules. For my institution, we auto-publish any course with enrollments on a daily basis stating on the first day of the term. It may be worth reaching out to your school/institution Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) to see if they have something like that in place.
The only other thing I could think of is that your unpublish action isn't being successfully done, but you should see a message at the top of the screen in Canvas when you hit unpublish if that was the case.
Hope this helps a bit!

Admins can both set rules for publishing and publish courses directly. You may ask if that is what is happening.

One of the dates I must collect is the last date of attendance when a student violates my attendance policy. The last date of attendance is required by the federal government for institutions to qualify for financial aid. How would I go about finding the last date of attendance. This is for my in-person classes so the last…
Hi everyone! I would love to hear your suggestions and best‑practice tips on implementing copyright settings. https://embed.app.guidde.com/playbooks/8eYgHHmwTXKMLxDW4LqEDX
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
