Does Canvas Mail save messages as you are type them? I spent a long time typing a detailed message to students and I pushed something and the mailbox disappeared. How do I recover the draft message?
@RRieser -
You have the same problem I have. My guess is you lost the information when you went to type your name.
In a browser window, ctrl-r and ctrl-shift-R cause the web page to be reloaded. I occasionally hit that combination when I go to put my name in.
As far as I know with Canvas Inbox, that information is lost. I just tried it out, and using the back arrow on the browser or backspace key did not work - as well as reopening the compose box.

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template?

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
